Book Description

In the near future the Internet will be populated with numerous intelligent agents which will be responsible for carrying out many of the transactions that take place on behalf of the humans that own them. How will we ensure that these agents and their human owners behave in an ethical way? Agents and their owners will need to be accountable to human society's law. Also, internet citizens' rights must be respected and personal information not exploited. This book takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on philosophy, law and psychology as well as information technology, to propose approaches to dealing with these issues.

Comprehensively addresses the hottest issues concerning agent research - vital for the whole future of e-commerce.
Contains chapters from the key players in the Agents community along with contributions from high-profile philosophers, lawyers and psychologists.
Includes 4 practical scenarios which show how the theory described in the individual contributions might relate to reality: A financial transaction (trading), a legal transaction, a music application and a games application.

Set to become THE official reference for researchers in this field, this should be on the bookshelf of all academic and industrial researchers in EE and CS, involved in intelligent agent research, researchers in Psychology, Philosophy, Law and Cognitive Sciences and graduates studying intelligent agents, internet and artificial societies, virtual communities.

Customer Reviews:

probably inspiring for some readers but title can mislead.......2002-12-11

I don't doubt that some readers find this a five star book, and I am not quarrelling with the value they perceive. Rather, I am drawing attention to what the book actually is, which is not what the title suggests to me. The book does not deal with the problem of actually getting paid by customers (a common problem in small firms). Admittedly the editorial comments didn't claim that it does. But even the subtitle "Common Sense Business Tactics" strikes me as odd. This is an extremely high altitude book that probably works best as an accompaniment to motivational talks by the author, which I do not doubt may be inspirational.

An Outstanding Guide for all Entrepreneurs.......2000-02-20

This book exemplifies experience of excellence in becoming successful as a business owner. Getting paid gives you the basics for planning, implementing and success in becoming an entrepreneur. Mr. Saboor outlines the beginning in a well thought out process of financial gain. I would recommend this book to anyone that thinks and is sincere in starting a business and wants to Get Paid.

This book is FANTASTIC, it is easy to read and understand!.......1999-01-30

This book contains a number of common sense ideas that enable a high school student or a business executive to understand. The book is a must read if you plan to start a business!

Customer Reviews:

The perfect preparation for any speech - en dat meen ik........1999-04-15

Leuk, veel toepasselijk psychologisch onderzoek. Erg leuk geschreven door iemand die duidelijk het terrein kent. Handige 'summary sheets' aan het eind van ieder hoofdstuk. Met dit boek wordt de speech een stuk minder gevaarlijk. Grondige kennis van het Engels lijkt me wel aanbevolen.

Excellent Reference for Executive.......2003-11-17

This resume reference is targetting audience with years of working experience. What I like about this book from the others are -

1. Plenty of examples, with genuine comments on the strength and uniqueness of each resume.

2. Categorize the resume section based on job titles and career (executive level).

3. This is a thick reference book and yet it din spend half the time teaching/educating what you can get from just any other resume book, the so-called writing tips. It goes straigth to the point on examples.

Well, consideirng the motives of why most of us get a resume book - i.e. to cross-reference, this is a book that's worth the money.

Reviewed by a Professional Resume Writer.......2000-06-17

If you are a professional resume writer, this book is a must for your reference materials. Not only does this book have many examples of executive resumes, it has excellent design and layout tips. Since most executive resumes are quite long with many qualifications, affiliations, accreditations and so forth, the layout and design tips were extremely valuable to me.

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful ...is all I can say........2003-06-07

I've listened to this book over and over, and each listening reveals at least one major "Wow! Of Course! I can see that now."
I can't say that about many, or even any, other book or tape - of the dozens and dozens I've read and listened to.

What the Culture Doesn't Teach You.......2001-07-10

This book can change your life. Feel like you are always chaseing rainbows, but never reaching the pot of gold? Have too much stuff, but never enough? Fed up with your job, but don't know what else to do because it pays just enough to keep you affluent, but not enough to be independent? YOU NEED THIS BOOK.

The Tao of Abundance will help you examine your relationship to things, to money, to work and to yourself. More than that it will help you understand how you are being manipulated by things outside of yourself - and how you can break free of that manipulation to gain control of your thinking, your goals and your life.

This a terrific book. I have worn out one copy of the printed version, given another away (OK lent to my brother and never had it returned), bought a second, and bought the tape to listen to in the car.

Something for Everyone.......2002-10-21

This book has something for everyone from beginning researchers to seasoned professionals. Unfortunately, it's not particularly easy to find the sections most likely to be of interest to any given reader. As noted in the Amazon description, the book is organized into six parts. That structure is only slightly helpful because the range of topics discussed within each part is very broad, no attempt is made to integrate the chapters, and because the chapters are written by different people so they don't progress from the basic to the sophisticated but rather skip around. There's an index, but that's only helpful if you know exactly what you're looking for. The only other alternative is browsing through the book for the sections of interest to you and skipping the rest. That places a greater burden on the reader than is necessary; however if you're involved in marketing research, you're likely to find enough that interests you to make it worth both the effort and the price.

Business Without Borders is an outstanding contribution to managing in the global era, with practical information on the skills and knowledge needed to become an effective player in the global marketplace. This is a must-read for managers who seek to lead their corporations in the knowledge-based economy."

Since resources are scarce - try this one for sure ..........2003-06-17

The Guiding Principle for Going Global Online

A solid piece of work, highly recommended to anyone who must understand how to develop a successful global Internet business. De Palma comes with an ace pedigree, widely respected, coming out with "customers are three times more likely to buy from websites in their own language", an industry standard mantra.

De Palma hits key areas, highlighting best practices of the market leaders and their global websites and systems. For once, we have web-based globalization ("Marketing and Selling on the Eight Continent") analysed within a business context. If only pets.com had read this book ...

Content is extensively researched. Case studies are made; corporate budgets, marketing plans, infrastructure, etc., are dissected. Plenty of practical examples, including the names we're all familiar with for the right reasons (eBay, etc.) and the wrong reasons (boo.com et al) too.

If you're in the business of expanding your markets through the web this is the book for you. Increasingly, "E-Commerce" is less dependent on the US ($600 billion worldwide versus $850 billion in the US estimated for 2003). If you want to grow your business, look outside your own borders.

De Palma shows how a successful web business deals with "big issues": Education about global and local markets; planning for international web business; implementing technology and translating into foreign languages, organizing people and resources and, crucially, measuring the return on investment. Of course, parts of what he says applies to international business in general, so don't think this book is just for the web-literate.

The tone is pragmatism. De Palma is realistic about the planning and management of a global web business (it does NOT mean translating into every language under the sun). Much to his credit, he provides valuable information on areas that competing titles duck to avoid, e.g., international tax, contractual and legal requirements - and provides good advice for staying out of trouble.

A technical foundation is included. This isn't a book for techies, but it does educate the executive and student audience about implementing globalized web technology. Experts will contest his comments on TMX, Machine Translation and Unicode, however, the rest of the technical stuff is sound (no "did you know that they have different shaped mailboxes in England?" nonsense).

De Palma, throughout the book, underpins his thesis with the need for a Chief Globalization Officer (an executive to champion web globalization in a company). You can cringe at Grand Poo-Bah titling redolent of dot coms, but fair enough, it does underline the critical importance of bringing globalization issues to senior management attention. Basically, if you're not getting the message through to board level, your enterprise will remain a beggar at the globalization banquet.

In sum, you can take this book as The Guiding Principle for Going Global Online. Recommended to seasoned executives, students of international commerce and technology, globalization gurus and the plain interested. OK, we know business book sales are down 30% since the end of the 1990's. So, if you're going to buy one, buy this one.

A Must Read for Global Web Marketers.......2003-06-11

Hats off to Mr. DePalma! As a long-time marketing professional who has grappled with trying to help upper management "get" the importance of the web as a co-equal channel within the marketing mix-particularly as it relates to drumming up business globally- "Business without Borders" delivers the information and strategic paths that any business thinking of going global needs to know and understand. I highly recommend this book to anyone who already is engaged in doing business overseas or is simply thinking of doing so; "Business without Borders" delivers comprehensive "glocalized" web marketing strategies and important lessons learned for everyone.

Globalization How-to (and How-not-to).......2003-06-09

DePalma has produced a detailed, well-reasoned tour de force for companies who need to act on the globalization imperative. He touches on every aspect of the globalization process, including target market analyses, localization, internal corporate issues, and much more. Even companies who are well along in their efforts to operate globally (in every sense of the word) could learn a thing or two from DePalma's book.

He personalizes what could easily become a dry subject by regularly invoking a fictitious model protagonist named "Mira Vozreniya" - meaning "world view" in Russian (with tongue planted firmly in cheek) - to guide the reader through the intricate and complicated process of taking products global. His approach is hands-on, with many summarizing charts, tips, data points, and tools for would-be globalizers. And he spends significant time on the 8th Continent and web-related issues, in the process dispelling many a myth about the instant globality of a web presence. The book is filled with real-life examples of what to do and what not to do to be successful globally.

I heartily recommend this book to anyone who is, or soon will be, involved in the massive undertaking that is globalization in a corporate environment. There is a great deal to digest in DePalma's book (dare I say, too much?), but if companies implement even a fraction of what he lays out, they will do well for themselves.

globalization beyond personalization.......2003-06-09

Having spent too many years of my professional career on personalization, I picked up this book to find out the personalization angle in e-business globalization. The author didnot disappoint me as the book succintly describes globalization as full-context personalization. However, the book is much more than this viewpoint. Mr. DePalma makes the business case for e-business globalization, and gives concrete steps for planning, implementing and measuring a globalization strategy. I liked both the content and its presentation. First, the author has a knack for getting to the gist of an issue such as 3 P's of global marketing. Second, the presentation is very precise with the right amount of details such as the elements required for correct language representation from scripts to encoding methods. Third, the material is action oriented as the example for when to use machine translation vs. human translation. Well done!

DePalma Moves From Theory to Practice.......2003-06-05

This book is as pragmatic and current as I have ever seen. Depalma takes the concepts and current challenges associated with international commerce and provides practical guidance for anyone seeking to start or improve their worldwide practice.

Well worth the time and money!
