Mitchell Levy Teaches Success and Survival
In The E-Commerce World
New Riders' author tells businesses to "E-Volve-or-Die"
RELEASE DATE: December, 2000

INDIANAPOLIS - New Riders' release (December, 2000) of E-volve-or-Die.com: Thriving in the Internet Age through E-Commerce Management, marks a departure from the multitude of e-commerce titles on shelves today. The book aims to educate a much wider audience than those involved in e-commerce. It seeks to serve as a resource for any one in the world wanting to thrive in this digital age. Levy, who is president of ECnow.com, an e-commerce management (ECM) consulting firm helping startup, medium and large companies transition from the industrial age to the Internet age, uses the book to teach his readers not only how to learn planning and deployment, but how to maintain what you deploy and evolve business operations for now and well into the future. He is also the chair of the core conference comdex.biz for Comdex Fall 2000.
