Why you should read Blueprint to the Digital Economy
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 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 déja-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, getAbstract recommends this book - for the fascinating movement it captures - to the general reader interested in business- and information-age topics and to top managers.
