  • Strategic Management of E-Business
    Strategic Management of e-Business Second edition Stephen Chen Australian National University Strategic Management of e-Business Second edition Reviews of the first edition ‘‘Stephen Chen’s book provides great in depth and up-to-date analysis of the strategic management issues that face business organizations as they embrace the Internet revolution. Sucinctly describing the main shifts in business economics and the opportu- nities and threats the digital world presents, Strategic Management of e-Business is the most comprehensive strategic guide to success in the online world this side of the millennium. Business leaders, economists, MBA students and e-commerce consultants alike should all read this book.’’ Peter Spark, CEO, Ecsponent ‘‘As an e-business strategist in an interactive consultancy I am very aware that most books on the subject of e-business either make the error of being too simplistic or get buried in a narrow topic or specific technology. Steve Chen’s book is the first I’ve seen that succeeds in providing a comprehensive coverage of the whole field whilst introducing enough of the technologies and challenges so that readers who get involved in e-business initiatives appreciate what is really involved. Additionally, Dr Chen has selected for us the most insightful pieces of current research and theory to achieve a balance of the pragmatic and the intellectually rigorous, making this a unique asset in understanding this fast-changing and critically important field of contemporary business.’’ Alan Warr, e-Business Strategy Consultant, Rubus ‘‘As well as giving a valuable overview for newcomers to e-business strategy, Stephen Chen’s book combines a powerful synthesis of academic thinking over many years with contemporary illustrations of strategic management issues in e-business.

  • Investigation Into the the Accident of Richard Hammond
    Investigation into the accident of Richard Hammond Accident involving RICHARD HAMMOND (RH) On 20 SEPTEMBER 2006 At Elvington Airfield, Halifax Way, Elvington YO41 4AU SUMMARY 1. The BBC Top Gear programme production team had arranged for Richard Hammond (RH) to drive Primetime Land Speed Engineering’s Vampire jet car at Elvington Airfield, near York, on Wednesday 20th September 2006. Vampire, driven by Colin Fallows (CF), was the current holder of the Outright British Land Speed record at 300.3 mph. 2. Runs were to be carried out in only one direction along a pre-set course on the Elvington runway. Vampire’s speed was to be recorded using GPS satellite telemetry. The intention was to record the maximum speed, not to measure an average speed over a measured course, and for RH to describe how it felt. 3. During the Wednesday morning RH was instructed how to drive Vampire by Primetime’s principals, Mark Newby (MN) and CF. Starting at about 1 p.m., he completed a series of 6 runs with increasing jet power and at increasing speed. The jet afterburner was used on runs 4 to 6, but runs 4 and 5 were intentionally aborted early. 4. The 6th run took place at just before 5 p.m. and a maximum speed of 314 mph was achieved. This speed was not disclosed to RH. 5. Although the shoot was scheduled to end at 5 p.m., it was decided to apply for an extension to 5:30 p.m. to allow for one final run to secure more TV footage of Vampire running with the after burner lit.
