THE SEVEN STEPS TO NIRVANA: Strategic Insights to eBusiness Transformation

Mohanbir Sawhney, . . McGraw-Hill, $24.95 (323pp) ISBN 978-0-07-137522-1

Although sometimes hyperbolic, Sawhney, an influential professor at Northwestern's business school, and co-writer Zabin provide a comprehensive conceptual framework for conducting e-business that sets their effort apart from the summer's many similar books. Targeting senior management, the authors outline their seven steps (vision, evolution, strategy, synchronization, infrastructure, capitalization and organization) for leveraging a company's advantages.
