Product Description
Product Description
The survival of the fastest
Information technology is now essential to business evolution. Companies that invest in IT as a future resource will live to see the future. The rest won′t. The hard reality of the new "Information Darwinism," a term coined by author Eric Marks, is brilliantly and provocatively described in e–Darwinism, a look at the make–or–break impact of IT on accelerating the global struggle for market share. The book offers a compelling look at just how the Internet has transformed business strategy and business strategy creation, IT strategy, and manufacturing strategy for manufacturing and service firms, and made significant inroads in driving revenue enhancement and cost savings as well as reducing a firm′s time to market. The book also describes how much the ability to leverage IT has become a requirement for measuring–and selecting–future leaders.

Thought Leadership at It's Best
15 Mar 2002
Format:Hardcover
Compelling insight on the importance of technology-driven business strategy. The only book that addresses this approach in a completely comprehensive way, challenging business leaders to rethink their approach to strategy and change. The "flexing" of business and IT architecture is thought-provoking, dynamic, yet critical to where business needs to be in the near future.
And the "evolve or dissolve" subtitle best summarizes the nature of businesses today. I will read it again with my highlighter.

A Must-Read Corporate IT Primer
20 July 2002
Format:Hardcover
I found "Business Darwinism" to be a no-nonsense, intelligently written evolution of information. The reading experience is educating, and at the same time, entertaining. It's a compendium of fascinating, and important events that shaped our current day information systems models. The Darwin, and other evolution analogies that the author selected, as well as the attention-grabbing timelines and events makes for an interesting read. He very nicely positions the IT importance intelligently at the center of the corporate model without overstated importance, and supports it with well-built logic as to why it works. The appeal of the book is that anyone, hanging on to any position on the corporate flagpole will find it both interesting and educational, as it helps him or her understand the core value of information at the business level, without all the technogibberish.
