Here’s a batch of new ecommerce books to start the new year. There are titles on launching a company, daily marketing, branding, generative AI, streamlining development, building a team, and creativity.
I compiled this list using Amazon. From the “Books” category, I selected “Business & Money.” From there, I chose the “Processes & Infrastructure” sub-category and selected “E-commerce.” Then I handpicked titles from that group based on customer ratings and relation to ecommerce. I also selected a few titles from the “Business Development & Entrepreneurship” sub-category.
