This book is useful for seasoned businessmen, new entrepreneur, investor, and any one who wants to know what is the effect of information revolution in modern world. Should one be scared that there is going to have a drastic change in the business philosophy? To find an answer one must read this book.

This book is valuable resource, rather I would say, is a must for any entrepreneur. Also this will be a valuable source of information for modern managers.

A Solid Effort!
Drawing this blueprint to the digital economy required the combined labors of three editors (Don Tapscott, Alex Lowry and David Ticoll) and various expert authors drawn from academia, research and corporate leadership. The 20 essays that make up the book focus on industrial transformation, new rules for competing in the e-age, the computer-based network model and changes in government structure and policy in a networked world. The high-level authors contribute thoughtful articles, though some ideas overlap and some thick spots of techie language and academic theorizing emerge along the way. More problematic, since the e-commerce environment changes so quickly, the book has a slight air of déjà vu. Its discussion of emerging trends freezes in flight and becomes a kind of fluid history of a particular time in e-business' evolution. Still, we recommend this book - for the fascinating movement it captures - to the general reader interested in business- and information-age topics and to top managers.

A truthfully understable "organic organization" profile
It does a good job of depicting the pros and (today's) cons of the digital economy and its foundation the "organic organizations". Nothing to clash but to evolve from the old pyramidal or tree looking org chart that all we do know never works entirely in that way. A must for every one involved in a corporative enviroment today or aspiring to form its own one. Similar Products
