Blur: The Speed of Change in Connected Economy [Paperback]

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.

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.

STAN DAVIS is an independent author and speaker and a visionary business thinker who advises leading and fast-growing companies around the world. He is the author of bestseller, Future Perfect, a Tom Peters’ “Book of the Decade” Award winner.

CHRISTOPHER MEYER is director of the Ernst & Young Center for Business Innovation and President of Bios GP, Inc., E&Y’s venture in the application of complexity theory to business.
