The business world as it is today and will be tomorrow

I found this to be an insightful read with lots of ideas to ponder. Cortada hits on several hot buttons of the new economy--technology, continuous training and best practices, knowledge workers and knowledge management, the Internet, and supply chain management. He makes the important distinction that the changes going on today represent more than just technology. He talks about the search for the new value proposition, globabilization, how to leverage knowledge workers, the preeminence of the supply chain, and lots more. His book is not just descriptive. In several chapters he includes an "implications and actions" section that is very helpful in thinking about "what now?" The book also includes useful diagrams to illustrate his points. At under 250 pages, it's a really good summary of what's going on in the new economy, and I highly recommend it.
