e Risk and the Web

As governments try to balance the rights of their citizens to privacy with that of freedom of information, and as companies try to maximize the benefits of web publishing while protecting vital intellectual property, the world of the intranet and internet is becoming increasingly regulated. It is a complex environment and one that has to be understood by any organization using the web as a means of communication - internally or externally. Understanding and managing the risks involved is a relatively new area for most managers. This timely and much needed book will set out the range of risks in the web publishing environment and the ways in which they can be balanced and controlled. This book is essential reading for all individuals and teams responsible for the content on intranets, extranets and websites: web editors and publishers, managers responsible for e-commerce, intranets and internet publishing; library and information professionals working in (or interested in) web environments; and students from a variety of disciplines.
