Book Description
The Internet has changed dramatically over the past two years. The battle over whether the Net should be used for marketing products and services is essentially over, and the Information Superhighway has become the road to riches for those who had the foresight to take advantage of its unique opportunities. For those who haven't gotten on the I-way yet, there's no need to despair -- whole new possibilities have opened up in cyberspace, and this book addresses them all. Topics include: The brand-new possibilities offered by the World Wide Web The latest laws, such as the Communications Decency Act of 1996 The various advertising options available, including a discussion of spamming How cybersellers can ensure that they get paid for their products and services The advantages of trading in the stock of Internet technology-based companies And much, much more...
Clearly written, and free of confusing technical jargon, this is still the undisputed bible for entrepreneurs who want to know how to make a fortune in cyberspace.

Sue them under the Descriptions Act?.......2004-04-14
Since the authors themselves were unable to make a fortune on the Internet, and indeed, one got disbarred partially because of their vandalism of Usenet, I think you can guess this book isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
P.
Not A How-To, It's A Cautionary Tale.......2003-10-14
I had the unfortunate experience of being on the receiving end of many complaints when Canter and Siegel first burst onto the spamming scene in 1994, so I know a lot about the problems their marketing activities caused. This book gives lots of tips on how to follow in their footsteps to seek fame (well, infamy) and fortune on the Internet, but a much more informative lesson can be drawn by looking at where these morally bankrupt business ideas landed them. Both Canter and Siegel lost their licenses to practice law in Florida after a particularly nasty dispute over some missing client funds. Eventually Canter was disbarred in Tennessee for email related misbehavior, and shortly thereafter, their marriage broke up, according to several news accounts.
Many commentators have noted that the moral and ethical problems that marked their careers are a prerequisite to engaging in the destructive practices of email spamming that they advocate in this book. While there may be a chicken-and-egg quality to the question of "does being a bad person make you into a spammer" vs. "does being a spammer make you a bad person," at the end of the day, spamming is morally repugnant, ethically suspect, and now illegal to one extent or another in more than 30 states and more than a dozen countries around the world. Maybe you *can* make some money doing it, but you can also make money engaged in many other illegal and unethical activities. It's not a question of "can," rather it's a question of "should."
According to recent news reports, Ms. Siegel reportedly passed away several years ago and Canter is employed writing software manuals. I own a copy of their book, not as a useful how-to guide, but as a reminder that some opportunities come at too high of a price.
Misleading and Inaccurate.......2003-02-09
The advice that Siegel and Canter dispense in this book is worse than useless. It will almost certainly get your Internet account cancelled if you tried to follow their instructions. There is such a thing as legitimate methods of conducting business on the Internet. Business-2-business sites and e-commerce sites are good examples of this. But the "send unsolicited bulk emails" and "spam thousands of Usenet newsgroups" strategies that this book teaches are not only ineffective (it has been estimated that over 95% of spammers lose money in the long run), but unethical. UCE and spam take advantage of the Tragedy of the Commons: UCE and spam are not free-speech issues. Siegel and Canter should be ashamed.
Siegel is a most excellent spammer.......2001-12-11
Anyone who believes that Ms. Siegel's book is the
solution for an Internet marketing strategy has
not learned the lessons of history. She made her
fortune offering what are already freely available
services to internationals desiring temporary USA
visas. And she did it on the basis of nothing more
than spam.
Can you honestly think that you will have the same
results she has had by employing the same technique?
Are you prepared to have your plug pulled by a
number of service providers, and to be despised by
Internet-savvy users all over the world? If the
answer to these questions is yes, then by all means
read her book -- but don't try doing business with me.
If you would rather use the Internet for the long term
-- and you should because it'll be here -- then find a
way to make it a part (not the whole, not even the
biggest part) of an overall business strategy that
puts customers and potential customers first.
A GREAT BOOK!.......2001-11-06
I was delighted with this book and so will you be. You'll be making more money than you could ever imagine, quickly and easily.
Book Description
To outpace the competition, today's firms must be able to understand and implement the latest technology and processes for supply management.
On-Demand Supply Management provides expert advice for procurement, IT, finance, and manufacturing executives to enable faster adoption of the right strategies, processes and tools to achieve sustainable competitive advantage, and includes best practices for their management teams to use.
Supported by real case studies, this book explores both new and existing strategies and technology across the entire supplier interface in spend analysis, market-making, supplier relationship management, sourcing, product life cycle management, should-cost, services procurement, risk management/governance, req-to-check, and on-demand technology and processes. It addresses the cost, effort, and benefits of using IT tools to drive improved supply management results and illustrates how to prioritize, sequence and match tools to strategic needs and budget realities.
The authors also cover the practical issues of effective process and technology implementation such as business case development, master planning, training, and results tracking, and delineate which metrics must be in place to achieve success.

Perfect Merger of Technology Tools with Supply Management.......2007-07-02
This book is a very practical set of guideposts for meshing technology with Supply Management. If only we had this book when implementing our complex supply management processes we could have gone much faster with far fewer serious missteps. Not only does it hit the strategic choices that must be made ahead of time, but it also deals with implementation and provides alerts for common mistakes. The verbal examples are excellent and underscore the groundings in real life experiences of companies struggling with key issues.
A Bookshelf Requirement.......2007-04-28
On-demand Supply Management is a well conceived and written book that details the software technology necessary for todays procurement demands and illustrates them with interesting case studies.
The book also makes an extremely strong case for Procurement profesionals be slotted at a high level in the corporate structure.
Make space in your credenza for this important book.
A Wonderful Book.......2007-04-08
Just finished "Straight to the Botton Line" and "On Demand Supply Management". Wonderful books! "Straight to the Botton Line" helped to crystallize my thinking on Supply Management. "On Demand Supply Management" was a great update and overview of the technology that is radically changing our work. Both provided a good framework for thinking on the topics and excellent insights. Congratulations to the authors on a job very well done!
Book Description
In today's competitive business climate, companies with effective procurement strategies are beginning to separate themselves from the competition. Successful purchase order management (POM) is now a critical core competency and organizations in all industries have started investigating tools and techniques to help them succeed.
Purchase Order Management Best Practices brings together the field's latest advances and gives business professionals a comprehensive framework for lowering costs, improving efficiency, eliminating non-value added activities, and optimizing the transformation program for the POM process. It offers practical, proven tactics and detailed guidance into every aspect of POM process redesign: mapping the existing process, intelligently leveraging new technologies, building a strategy for strengthening the relationship with suppliers, identifying comprehensive related metrics, and industry success stories and lessons learned.
Although POM process transformation is a hot topic, there is not a single book that focuses on the recipe of success for a POM transformation program. This text fills the gap by providing a breakthrough start-to-finish roadmap for organizations to implement the POM transformation program successfully.
Customer Reviews:
Very helpful.......2007-07-03
I recently worked with a client who had purchase order management problems. Implementation of the new purchase order management procedures were extremely difficult. The third part of the book on Change Management (written by Beitler, the change management expert) was very helpful.
I like how these three experts, Sabri (process), Gupta (technology) , and Beitler (change management), collaborated to produce such a valuable reference guide for purchase order management. They talk about state-of-the-art techniques, being used at real-world companies, in an easy-to-read style.
Should Be Required Reading.......2006-12-27
This book should be required reading for anybody interested in supply chain management. An organization's purchase order managemnent system must reflect serious consideration of the "process, technology, and change mangement" issues that are discussed by Sabri, Gupta, and Beitler.
"POM Best Practices" offers advice that new and seasoned purchase order managements can apply immediately. I wish this type of book had been available 20 years ago when I got started.

Description:
Electronic procurement innovations (EPI) have been adopted by many firms as a means of improving their procurement efficiency and effectiveness, but little research has been conducted to determine whether the assimilation of EPI really increases procurement productivity and which factors influence its assimilation. Drawing on data from 166 firms, we conducted an exploratory study to address these questions, using cluster analysis that revealed four different clusters or patterns of EPI assimilation: none, focused niche, asymmetric, and broad-based deployment. The level of EPI assimilation was closely related to procurement productivity. Greater levels of EPI assimilation were associated with higher levels of top management support and greater IT sophistication. Also, interesting patterns emerged between the various elements of EPI infrastructure capability, specifically flexibility and comprehensiveness of standards, EPI security, and the level of EPI assimilation.

From the supplier: The Escambia County, FL, Office of Purchasing has created a management tool called direct purchase program that reduced the organization's procurement logistics. Direct purchase program allows a government entity to selectively procure goods and services directly by providing information to prospective bidders. Such information is taken from solicitations and trade contracts of construction managers. The program requires subcontractor to supply bid including all required taxes.

Book Description
American Lawyers in a Changing Society, 1776-1876 focuses on the interactions between law, lawyers, and American society taking into account not only the influence that bench and bar wielded over the lay public, but also the equally important restraints that societal norms imposed upon the thinking and behavior of the professional classes.
Book Description
The Messier Catalogue is a list of one hundred and ten galaxies, star clusters and nebulae, and includes many of the brightest and best-known objects in the sky. Amateur astronomers who find all the objects on the list in one night have successfully completed the Messier Marathon. The Observing Guide to the Messier Marathon contains over 90 easy-to-use star maps to guide the observer from one object to the next, and provides tips for a successful night of observing. Don Machholz also tells the story of the eighteenth-century astronomer, Charles Messier, and how he came to compile his extensive catalogue. His complete guide to the Messier Marathon will help the amateur astronomer to observe the Messier Objects throughout the year, using a small telescope or even a pair of binoculars. Don Machholz is an engineer in Auburn, California. Interested in astronomy since childhood, he is a renowned comet hunter, having discovered nine comets that bear his name. He writes articles for local California newspapers and radio stations for special astronomical events. Between 1988 and 2000, Don Machholz was the Comets Recorder for the Association of Lunar and Planetary Recorders.
