Business @ the Speed of Thought
- Business @ the Speed of Thought
"Business @ the Speed of Thought" is a book written by Bill Gates in 1999. It discusses how business and technology are integrated, and shows how digital infrastructures and information networks can help getting an edge on the competition. Gates asserts cyberspace and industry can no longer be separate entities, and that businesses must change to succeed in the Information Age. Though the book is not a technology handbook it gives interesting insights as to how to integrate business process with technology. It gives one an understanding of how advances in networking and I.T. can make a difference in day to day business.
Bill Gates' first book, "The Road Ahead" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_Ahead] , focused on the broad impact of technology. His new book, "Business @ the Speed of Thought", asks what this means for business. How should firms organize themselves differently? In what new ways should information flow? What metrics can managers use to judge how far down the path they are to what he calls the "digital nervous system" approach? In this article, Mr Gates comments on some of the themes of the book, including issues within Microsoft itself.
