Cyber Rules: Strategies for Excelling at E-Business offers exactly what its title promises: a series of deliberate considerations and well-reasoned actions designed to help even a technophobic newcomer tackle both the promises and the challenges of the virtual marketplace. Siebel Systems founder Thomas Siebel describes how time-tested business principles are still essential for success. But to achieve full potential in the future, he contends, companies must also have a solid understanding of the way technology will fundamentally affect every aspect of people's lives. These still-emerging policies and procedures of the electronic business world are thus dependent upon a "dual set of rules"; traditional methods, such as identifying target markets and assessing customer needs, now compose only one part of the ultimate picture. It is these "less familiar" and "less commonsensical" practices upon which Cyber Rules subsequently focuses. Part I authoritatively analyzes the direction that business has taken since the first commercial Web sites appeared in 1993; Part II thoughtfully examines the emerging trends that could shape the Net's "second generation"; and Part III suggests how small or large businesses can "get there from here." --Howard Rothman

Book Description

The Internet is driving the growth of a revolutionary commercial paradigm in which size and physical location are surrendering to "virtuality," and in which businesses are facing unprecedented marketing challenges. With the meteoric rise to prominence of the World Wide Web, no manager can afford to be indifferent to this technological revolution, for the Web has dramatically--and globally--expanded customer options, putting uniquely competitive pressures on companies large and small. To survive in business today, you must be online.

But being online--and making it profitable--means much more than throwing up a Web site and announcing, "We're digital." It means being alert to the experiences of E-business pioneers, and being ready to apply their hard-won lessons to your own sales and marketing channels. Cyber Rules is designed to help you do that. Written by the founders of Siebel Systems, Inc., the global leader in Enterprise Relationship Management software applications, it summarizes the dramatic history of the Web's "first generation," explains six critical rules now governing electronic commerce, and provides expert detailed advice for implementing a digital strategy. Whether you're still eyeing the E-business frontier or are already reaping its rewards, Cyber Rules will give you a distinctively insider's perspective on this radical new market space.

Easy to read.......2000-12-10

Tom Siebel describes the musts of ebusiness rules in an easy to understand format

Not bad.......2000-10-10

Although I found this book to have some interesting points, I also found it to be a big promotion for Siebel's business. At some points I almost felt like I was reading a thick Siebel pamphlet. I was disappointed to find that the content I thought was most important was buried in the back of the book. If you have never read a book on e-business/e-commerce, this book is worth a try. If you are comfortable with the subject and are seeking more advanced content, skip this book.

Superficial collection of stories.......2000-05-19

:-( The book somewhat disappointed me. It is not well-structured, mostly consisting of some anecdotal stories from famous Internet companies. Most of the offered advice and strategies are very generic and very basic. Topics are not explored at depth, but only identified. I would only recommend this book to a person who is completely new to the world of online business. Do not seek in-depth wisdom in it...

Don't bother.......2000-04-26

This book was really weak. I recommend Net Ready over this. There are some GLARING inconsistencies in this book. They include, but are not limited to: Yahoo is listed as a search engine... not as a directory. The location of MAE East is erroneously stated as being in NYC. This is just a sample... The book was a waste of time and money. Heed my warnings! Here be dragons!

Overview on Strategies.......2000-02-25

It gives an overview on strategies on the Internet, without showing really exciting news. If you are new to the game, it may be worthwile reading.

From the supplier: Congress plans to examine Internet gambling under the National Gambling Impact and Policy Commission and the Interstate Wire Act may be amended to explicitly prohibit cyber gambling. These developments came as concerns about the growing number of gambling sites on the Internet swell. Minnesota was the first state to establish state jurisdiction over the Internet after filing a suit against a local resort for being served through the Internet in Las Vegas, NV. Meanwhile, Virginia and Wisconsin have been lauded for their efforts at controlling cyber gambling through legislation.

You must buy this book.......2007-05-10

If you ever think you will have to write a fundraising letter, you NEED this book. Too many people think it is just like writing any other kind of letter but it isn't. There is a rhyme and, more importantly, a reason to it. Don't write a fundraising letter without reading this book first.

How To Write a Successful Fund Raising Letter.......2007-05-07

Excellent for a review of those with experience and super for those new at the experience. We have used it for both occasions

Disappointed.......2007-01-17

I am not an expert in writing fundraising letters. So, when I found a book with a title "How to write successful Fundraising Letters" it was as if I had won the lottery. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it because I was on a dealine to write a fundraising letter for a non-profit organization for which I had volunteered. I ordered the book, and paid just as much to have it deleivered the next day (local bookstores do not carry it). I found the book to be a tutorial and not something I could quickly benefit from. It is written to teach how to properly write and follow-up a fundraising campaign letter. The samples provided were very specific to 3-4 scenarios and did not offer much context. I guess I was looking for a book with hundreds of samples so that I could pick and choose phrases, paragraphs, etc.

Success at Last.......2007-01-11

I have toyed around with various funderaising letters over the years, reinventing the wheel each time. This book is a tremendous guideline for writing great fundraising letters and has many great examples.
I was able to raise over $100,000.00 in a recent campaign and for the first time I have had a number of people comment on how well the letter appealed to them, and how well it was written. I keep this book close at hand.

Book Description

No one prepares the new dean or health care executive for the fundraising aspect of their profession. Rather, it is one of the skills that is expected but not explicitly taught.

Here, a former Dean and a Director of Major Gifts for a renowned nursing institution, with a combined 50 years in the profession, present an explicit, hands-on guide to successful fundraising among individuals, foundations, and corporations.

From the basic principles of development to the specifics of tax regulations and the sometimes delicate matter of stewardship, this book articulates strategies for success. Case studies, extensive support materials and illustrative tables makes this an accessible and indispensable tool for health care executives.

Comprehensive Resource- Excellent Book!.......2007-10-05

I ordered this book because it was required for a graduate class that I was taking, but I found it to be an excellent resource. The author provides numerous examples for how to apply the material, but also provides additional internet resources to access other information in the field of nonprofit management and fundraising.

I would definitely purchase additional resources from this author again.

Book Description

Until recently, organized philanthropy in the United States has largely ignored Hispanic population groups, due to language and cultural barriers. In this issue of New Directions for Philanthropic Fundraising, the authors report on research conducted with leading Hispanic philanthropists, fundraising professionals, and nonprofit executives about the current status of giving and asking in Hispanic American communities and their attitudes and beliefs about philanthropy. Chapters examine the effect of education and religion on Hispanic philanthropy; describe the development, implementation, and results of a fundraising training program conducted in Hispanic nonprofits; and illustrate how Hispanic women are transforming the nonprofit sector and philanthropy.

Book Description

This volume of New Directions for Philanthropic Fundraising offers sound advice on how nonprofits can make their message heard and become more savvy in their efforts to attract donors, participants, and ultimately, greater revenue to support the programs that fulfill their mission. The authors illustrate how partnerships with for-profit businesses can be an effective marketing technique and suggest practical steps for attracting and maintaining corporate sponsorships. They explain the importance of developing a brand identity and recommend a number of brand-building strategies. Authors also discuss how to develop relationships with individual donors by treating them as customers, and report on successful, innovative marketing programs that have been implemented by nonprofits.
