eHarmony
by Mikolaj Jan Piskorski Troy Smith Hanna HalaburdaeHarmony's CEO needs to decide how to react to imitations of its business model, encroachment by competing models and ascendance of free substitutes. The case provides four options to address these threats and asks students to choose one after they analyzed the company's strategy. The analysis begins with understanding of value proposition, as derived from failures of substitutes. It proceeds to examine industry structure and important differences across its different niches. Students can then analyze the essence of a focused differentiation strategy and understand the importance of costly strategic trade-offs. They can also estimate the size of eHarmony's competitive advantage over two other competitors before articulating threats to sustainability, all of which will help them choose one of the four options.
eGovernment in Deutschland - eine unvermutete Erfolgsgeschichte: Vom sich selbst im Weg stehen und wie die digitale Transformation doch noch gelingen kann (Edition Innovative Verwaltung)
by Andreas SchmidFür dieses Buch ist Professor Andreas Schmid der Frage nachgegangen, warum Deutschland in der Verwaltungsdigitalisierung im internationalen Vergleich so weit zurückhängt. Vermutungen und Gründe gibt es viele und sind grundlegend: sie reichen vom Föderalismus, zur Tendenz zur Überregulierung bis hin zur Absicherungsmentalität innerhalb unseres ´Juristenstaats´. Ebenso bremsen starre Verwaltungsstrukturen und eine überbordende Bürokratie das Vorankommen. Und letztlich muss auch der fehlende Mut des Staatsapparates, den Bürger nicht als Kunden zu betrachten, als Hemmschuh genannt werden. An vielen Stellen steht sich der Staat und die Verwaltung also selbst im Weg. Der Autor arbeitet die Faktoren heraus, die die Entwicklung von eGovernment im Allgemeinen hemmen und den Ausbau der eGovernment-Angebote ganz konkret in Deutschland nur langsam vorankommen lassen. Die Ergebnisse seiner wissenschaftlich-empirischen Untersuchung formuliert er in seinem ernüchternden Fazit gleichwohl motivierend positiv: „Unter den Bedingungen, unter denen wir agieren, ist es erstaunlich, wie weit wir gekommen sind. Was hoffnungsfroh stimmt, ist, dass wir in Deutschland viele Voraussetzungen erfüllen, um eine ‚Digitale-Kehrtwende‘ einzuleiten.“ Der besondere Wert seiner Arbeit besteht darin, die vielfältigen Faktoren, die eine Entwicklung des eGovernments hemmen, herausgefiltert und intensiv beleuchtet zu haben. Die digitale Transformation der Verwaltung ist machbar ebenso wie die Steigerung der Qualität der eGovernment-Angebote sowie deren Nutzung durch die Bürger. Das Buch schließt mit 11 konkreten Empfehlungen, wie Deutschland zukünftig im eGovernment Spitzenplätze erreichen kann. Aus dem Inhalt Die Ausgangslage in Deutschland Die 7 Einfluss-Faktoren für eine gelungene Verwaltungsdigitalisierung 11 konkrete Empfehlungen, wie Deutschland im eGovernment Spitzenplätze erreichen kann

eGirls, eCitizens: Putting Technology, Theory and Policy into Dialogue with Girls’ and Young Women’s Voices (Law, Technology, and Media)
by Jane Bailey and Valerie SteeveseGirls, eCitizens is a landmark work that explores the many forces that shape girls’ and young women’s experiences of privacy, identity, and equality in our digitally networked society. Drawing on the multi-disciplinary expertise of a remarkable team of leading Canadian and international scholars, as well as Canada’s foremost digital literacy organization, MediaSmarts, this collection presents the complex realities of digitized communications for girls and young women as revealed through the findings of The eGirls Project (www.egirlsproject.ca) and other important research initiatives. Aimed at moving dialogues on scholarship and policy around girls and technology away from established binaries of good vs bad, or risk vs opportunity, these seminal contributions explore the interplay of factors that shape online environments characterized by a gendered gaze and too often punctuated by sexualized violence. Perhaps most importantly, this collection offers first-hand perspectives collected from girls and young women themselves, providing a unique window on what it is to be a girl in today’s digitized society. Published in English.
eFieldnotes
by Roger Sanjek Susan W. TratnerIn this volume, sixteen distinguished scholars address the impact of digital technologies on how anthropologists do fieldwork and on what they study. With nearly three billion Internet users and more than four and a half billion mobile phone owners today, and with an ever-growing array of electronic devices and information sources, ethnographers confront a vastly different world from just decades ago, when fieldnotes produced by hand and typewriter were the professional norm.Reflecting on fieldwork experiences both off- and online, the contributors survey changes and continuities since the classic volume Fieldnotes: The Makings of Anthropology, edited by Roger Sanjek, was published in 1990. They also confront ethical issues in online fieldwork, the strictures of institutional review boards affecting contemporary research, new forms of digital data and mediated collaboration, shifting boundaries between home and field, and practical and moral aspects of fieldnote recording, curating, sharing, and archiving.The essays draw upon fieldwork in locales ranging from Japan, Liberia, Germany, India, Jamaica, Zambia, to Iraqi Kurdistan, and with diaspora groups of Brazilians in Belgium and Indonesians of Hadhrami Arab descent. In the United States, fieldwork populations include urban mothers of toddlers and young children, teen tech users, Bitcoin traders, World of Warcraft gamers, online texters and bloggers, and anthropologists themselves.With growing interest in both traditional and digital ethnographic methods, scholars and students in anthropology and sociology, as well as in computer and information sciences, linguistics, social work, communications, media studies, design, management, and policy fields, will find much of value in this engaging and accessibly written volume.Contributors: Jenna Burrell, Lisa Cliggett, Heather A.

eClinicalWorks: The Paths to Growth
by Mark Rennella Robert F. HigginsIn January 2006, eClinicalWorks (eCW) had an acquisition opportunity that could fundamentally change the way they had done business since the inception of the company in 1999. eClinicalWorks was a privately run business in the healthcare information technology field that took in $25 million in revenue in 2005. Revenues for 2006 were projected to reach $40 million. This successful electronic medical record (EMR) company had grown thanks to their reliable software and responsive customer service. The company had achieved this growth without the help of any outside financing. The five co-founders of eCW, who treated each other like an extended family, invested years of sweat equity and hard work to shape eCW as they wanted. They were also proud of their company culture, which de-emphasized traditional company hierarchies and encouraged independent thinking and cooperative working arrangements across departments. Keeping the company private, in their view, had helped them to maintain this culture. The opportunity to acquire another EMR company offered eCW the chance to grow quickly in an industry that is estimated to take in more than $40 billion in overall revenues in 2007. But this acquisition would require outside financing of some sort. Was this the moment to accelerate the rate of growth to which eCW had become accustomed-catching up with, rather than anticipating, how their customer base would expand? Or should they maintain the same approach that had worked so well since 1999?

eBoys: The First Inside Account of Venture Capitalists at Work
by Randall E. StrossThe first inside account of life within a Silicon Valley venture capital firm, eBoys is the fascinating true story of the six tall men who backed eBay, Webvan, and other billion-dollar start-ups that are transforming the Internet and setting a new pace for the economy. Randall Stross, author of acclaimed books on Microsoft and Steve Jobs, blends a business historian's perspective with a journalist's flair for suspenseful storytelling to look at wealth creation up close. For two years, Stross gained unprecedented access to the venture capitalists at Benchmark, an upstart firm founded by thirty-something renegades whose average height happens to be 6'5". Since Benchmark's founding in 1995, each partner's net worth has increased, on average, $100 million annually. Stross was present as the Benchmark boys debated which businesses to support, and by recounting their conversations in testosterone-rich detail, he offers readers the most precise and enlightening account of the ways in which venture capitalists think, evaluate prospects, and wield influence. Stross also gained access to a number of the Benchmark-backed start-ups, including a small, privately held San Jose company called eBay. The value of the company grew from $20 million to more than $21 billion within two years of Benchmark's investment, an increase of 100,000 percent. Business Week called it "probably the best venture capital investment of all time." Venture capitalists have become iconic symbols of our time, just as investment bankers, investigative journalists, and hippies defined previous eras. In eBoys, Randall Stross has vividly captured the interplay of ambition, personality, experimentation, and risk, all acted out, larger than life, as the men of Benchmark and the entrepreneurs they back play their remarkable roles in the new world of Internet commerce and the creation of vast, sudden wealth.
