Web
Business Engineering
As a Web
development professional, you have significant knowledge of Internet and Web technologies,
but what do you know about business strategy? You can produce a Web site that incorporates
eye-catching graphics and sophisticated features, but does it truly serve your
organization's needs?
Web
Business Engineering is your bridge from technical understanding to business savvy.
Web practitioners and entrepreneurs will learn to approach the Web as a technology that
serves business needs, not a technology in search of a business need. This book shows you,
step-by-step, how to identify those needs and then create a profitable Web site that truly
adds value to the business.
The
author presents a new methodology-Web Business Engineering-that combines business
concepts with engineering-strength design and analysis techniques. He demonstrates how to
use this methodology to analyze an organization's offline needs, determine where the Web
opportunities lie, and create an effective online solution.
A large
portion of the book is devoted to real-world case studies that demonstrate how Web
Business Engineering benefits a wide variety of businesses in diverse industries-from a
small hair salon to a large institution conducting a survey. Further case studies
illustrate how to use Web Business Engineering to enhance existing Web sites for greater
impact and profitability.
Both
forward-looking and practical, Web Business Engineering can help all those in the
business and technology communities identify and implement the real value-added
opportunities of the Web.
