Als sich die Potentiale des Internets für die Wirtschaft abzeichneten, wurden von vielen Wissenschaftlern und Praktikern Anwendungsszenarien und Prognosen entwickelt, die sich mit den Auswirkungen des Internets auf die Wirtschaft beschäftigten. Wie hoch die damaligen Erwartungen waren, zeigten nicht zuletzt die Entwicklungen an den Weltbörsen. Stichwörter wie frictionless economy, disintermediation, virtual organizations, E-Learning und andere stehen stellvertretend für solche Voraussagen. In der Zwischenzeit ist eine weitreichende Ernüchterung zu beobachten. Dieses Buch versucht eine Bestandsaufnahme der digitalen Ökonomie. Die Erwartungen und Prognosen in Bereichen wie E-Commerce, E-Learning oder im Bereich virtuelle Organisation werden dem tatsächlich Erreichten gegenübergestellt. Es wird weiter ein Ausblick auf künftige Entwicklungen gegeben. Der Leser gewinnt so einen Überblick über den heutigen Stand der digitalen Ökonomie. Auf dieser Grundlage setzt ihn das Buch auch in die Lage, zukünftige Trends besser abzuschätzen.

In today’s dynamic business environment, IT departments are under permanent pressure to meet two divergent requirements: to reduce costs and to support business agility with higher flexibility and responsiveness of the IT infrastructure. Grid and Cloud Computing enable a new approach towards IT. They enable increased scalability and more efficient use of IT based on virtualization of heterogeneous and distributed IT resources. This book provides a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of Grids and Clouds and of how companies can benefit from them. A wide array of topics is covered, e.g. business models and legal aspects. The applicability of Grids and Clouds in companies is illustrated with four cases of real business experiments. The experiments illustrate the technical solutions and the organizational and IT governance challenges that arise with the introduction of Grids and Clouds. Practical guidelines on how to successfully introduce Grids and Clouds in companies are provided.

The third part is dedicated to three case studies from practice, and the book concludes with part four, in which practical guidelines for the innovative management of Environmental Performance indicators in organizations and in inter-organizational contexts are presented.
