Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Blur: The Speed of Change in the Connected Economy, by Stan Davis and Christopher Meyer, is a shrewd appraisal of the new corporate reality. The authors, who both direct research at the Ernst & Young Center for Business Innovation, maintain that "connectivity, speed, and the growth of intangible value" have catapulted business into a period of unprecedented transition that demands immediate and creative attention. Citing disparate examples including Amazon.com, singer David Bowie, and the Beanie Baby toy phenomenon, they show how a willingness to step away from conventional thinking is crucial for continued success. --Howard Rothman

Product Description
Get ready for a whole new world – a world of Blur in which traditional boundaries between product and service, capital and people, buyer and seller, and real and virtual no longer exist.
Stan Davis and Christopher Meyer have a front row seat to these changes and in one of the most influential business books of recent times, they not only define the phenomenon but show businesses large and small how to thrive.

Enjoyable fast read,

This review is from: Blur: The Speed of Change in Connected Economy (Paperback)
If you are looking for a good fast read about the New Economy and a high level primer on what it means for you I would recommend Blur. Despite a few commercials in there for E&Y's services and the jargon of the 'blur' it is a solid read. Though it is not something that will help you stratgically change your business, sections on how employees will be valued in the future and how companies will have to bend over backwards in the future to really serve the customer, ring true. This book is good to read if you want to get an idea of what will happen at a high level to society, people, working habits and business, say for before a planning exercise. It would be good to read also if you're working on your CV!

Good, intermediate-level guide to a changing world,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blur (Hardcover)
Quite good, especially as a follow up to Kevin Kelly's "New Rules...". The "blur" phrase gets a bit of overuse but you can't fault the authors' enthusiasm for their subject.
