Based, in large part, on extensive interviews with those at the forefront of the e-business revolution, Digital Transformation cuts through the hype and confusion surrounding doing business on the Internet to reveal the fundamental principles behind the digital transformation currently underway. Executives learn from "the source" how to make the transition to a fully Internet-enabled organization Includes tips and insights from Cisco CEO John Chambers, Dan Shulman, President of Priceline.com, and other e-business gurus Reveals why some companies have been so successful while others tried and failed

"The journey from business to e-business is not an easy one. You need a good map and an experienced guide. You won't find a better travel companion than Digital Transformation. With practical advice and illuminating examples, Patel and McCarthy have written the Baedeker for e-business transformation."

"Just when you thought your business or your employer were safe, along came the Internet. If you happen to believe your company or your job is immune to the tumultuous forces of the Internet, think again. This book explains how the Internet will cause as much havoc and change to organizations in the twenty-first century as cobblestones and barricades did in a bygone age."

­­Michael Moritz, Partner, Sequoia Capital, and Director of Web Van, Google, PlanetRx, X.com, and Yahoo!

"Intelligently written, Digital Transformation provides a candid assessment of why some e-business strategies work others don't."
