Colleagues, As many of you know, I am the author of a soon-to-be-released textbook- "E-Commerce Management: Text and Cases". Some of you may be interested to know that we are offering the Amazon.com case that will be featured in the book as a free download. The case is a comprehensive business history of the company including events up to Feb 2002(notably, the recent quarterly profit). To download the latest version of the case, please visit- http://faculty.washington.edu/sandeep/textbook/Amazon.htm (If you are having problems downloading the case, try this one- http://www.swcollege.com/marketing/marketing.html). This site now includes- -The latest version of the case(in pdf format). -A teaching note for instructors. This is presented as a password-protected Word document to limit access to instructors only(the password is sandeep). -Link to a public discussion of the case. Please encourage your students to use this. They can make up any username to post a message. The book is coming along well and is expected to be out by July 2002.
