About this title

Synopsis

Flor (Carnegie Mellon) approaches the web as a technology that serves business needs, rather than a technology in search of a business need. His method is to first identify those needs, and then create a profitable web site that adds value to a business. The book also explains how to calculate return on investment, net present value, internal rate of return, and the amount of payback from web sites. Annotation c.
