A Book With Real Management Substance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
One of the better books with thoughts on strategies and management concepts sustainable in the age of technological innovation and globalization. Certainly more substance than some of the .com and other e-commerce/customer-centric titles, with application across industries.
A book one returns to
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book focus on one issue, how to stay alive and prosper in the new network based competitive environment. The authors look at this issue from ten different perspectives, and contrary to many other "overwiev" books, they come to a coherent conclusion from all standpoints.This book doesn't have all the answers (nobody does), but it does a very good jobb of explaining why some old truths ain't true anymore and it does point out the general directions where you should look for the new truths for the new era./Rasmus Larsson, Internet Business Strategist at W O G N U M

Must read for accounting students and professors
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Draws into focus the dynamic marketplace of the information age, and critical changes in focus and strategy that must occur for a business to thrive in the new economy.Even though the authors bash the accounting profession improperly in places, they make a good case that managerial accounting must change or become irrelevant.
An excellent book for management and accg systems people
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Generally speaking, this is an excellent book which brings to light the issues which face the business leaders of the information age. It does an excellent job of identifying the issues which must be addressed by firms that wish to remain competitive in the dynamic global marketplace.However, as an accounting professional, I found the book overly critical of the accounting profession, although it does at times accurately reflect the profession's lack of enthusiasm for dealing with difficult measurement issues.
