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 --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eliminate Your Disbelief and Misconception Stalls, 25 July 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Blur- The Speed of Change on the Connected Highway (Hardcover)
When new circumstances occur, many people have a hard time adapting because they keep applying concepts and ideas that do not apply very directly. For example, when the telephone was invented, most people could see no use for it because they assumed that all communications would still be face to face whenever possible. It never occurred to anyone that the circle of those contacted would grow, and the telephone would be essential. I liked this book because it addresses the mind-set that someone needs to pursue in order to be more successful now. I have implemented several new programs already based on what I learned in BLUR, and am very impressed with how well they are working. I have read quite a few books on compelxity theory, the new connected economy, and new ways to compete, but this one stimulated my thinking more than any other. I strongly encourage you to read it. If you need step-by-step aid in how to use these new concepts, you will have to develop that on your own. This is a book about ideas, rather than a "how-to" book. I have enjoyed Stan Davis's earlier books, and look forward to many more in the future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable fast read, 16 Feb 2000
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, intermediate-level guide to a changing world, 23 July 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Blur- The Speed of Change on the Connected Highway (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.
