Product Description

Product Description

This work is an examination of the new strategies used by the most advanced corporations that are propelling the current industrial revolution. The book explains how ad hoc aggregates of companies - "virtual corporations" - are combining to deliver instantaneous, customized services and products. It identifies the driving forces that are transforming the marketplace and corporations: fast new information technologies; increased emphasis on quality; accelerated product development cycles; changing management practices, including new linkages between company, supplier and consumer, and between industry and government. William H. Davidow is the author of "Marketing High Technology" and "Total Customer Service". Michael S. Malone is the author of "The Big Score" and "Going Public".

5.0 out of 5 stars philosophy of the future of business, 12 April 1999
By A Customer
I have read the book 4-5 years ago, and it sounded like science fiction to me, far future, but it did made lot of sense. I have also put my own money where my mouth is. I made my software development team 'Virtual'. Currently we have several people work on 2 continents, from own homes and doing a great job. Thanks to this book that gave me the great insights in change in emplyment and production patterns.

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid this book. It is a 'virtual waste' of time., 20 April 1998
By A Customer
This book does not deliver any new insights or even clever examples of new business structures. I believe this book was written only for the intention of writing a book, and not to educate the reader. I even remember Andy Grove of Intel scoffing at the title when the book was publshed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the standard, 16 Jun 1997
By A Customer
I have read this book 3 or 4 years ago the first time (in its German translation). There is still (June 1997) no better book for the strategies an philosophies of Virtual Corporations. It belongs to the 5 best and most often used business books I own.
