Book Description
On September 1, 1999, the multibillion-dollar DeVos and
Van Andel families will launch Quixtar.com, an e-commerce
site that industry insiders believe may well surpass the size
and revenues of such Internet behemoths as Ebay and
Amazon.com. The Quixtar Revolution tells the inside story of
how Quixtar was created, why it promises to make Internet
history, and how it is going to change the way we do business
in the 21st century.
Rushed to market with exclusive interviews and
up-to-the-minute information on Quixtar's much anticipated
launch, this book reveals why Quixtar's high-tech, high-touch
business model will become the new archetype for successful
commerce in the new Internet economy.
The Quixtar Revolution includes interviews with some of
the top global business leaders affiliated with Quixtar, such
as Paul Miller, Bill Florence, Tim Foley, Jody Victor, Jim
Floor, Jim Dornan, Fred Harteis, Bert Gulick, Brian Hays, Bo
Short, Brad Doyle, Andy Andrews, and Chuck Vogt. Also
interviewed for the book was John Parker, Director of
Business Relations for Quixtar.
The Quixtar Revolution, which promises to be one of the
first best-sellers in the new millennium, also includes a
number of interviews with some of the nation's top Internet
and e-commerce experts including Gene DeRose, the CEO of
Jupiter Communications, Stephen McCarty of Microsoft, Seema
Williams of Forrester Research, Ken Harris of Cannondale
Associates, and David Rush of Kurt Salmon Associates.
