3.0 out of 5 stars Who will save cyberspace? Does anyone really know?, 8 April 1999
By A Customer
An interesting compilation with many diverse contributors. However, most contributions come up with the same conclusions: things could be exciting or things could be terrible. Somebody just needs to sort it out. Not as powerful as 'The Digital Economy' but a reasonable overview of what could be. Subjects covered include: EBCs and the nature of co-operation; GM's scenario matrix; sense and respond systems based on the availability of tacit knowledge; co-evolution within alliances; the need for alignment between values and systems; the importance of customer information in banking industry; content being customer driven in publishing; impact of internet on photography/video; as education moves out of the classroom, learning becomes modular and pulled; the evolution from passive to assertive consumer and the shift of loyalty from supplier to intermediary; how logistics will lead to the creation of virtual integration; the opportunities provided by network computers; self-organising business communities; "the network is the computer"; connection within cybercommunities; the biases of digital technology; the tension between cyberlibertarians and technocommunitarians; the impact of nonjurisdiction on governance; faith in government institutions faced with the 'need' for regulation and security and finally the essential dichotomy: empowerment versus control.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent cases on basis of The Digital Economy, 23 Aug 1998
By A Customer
The book The Digital Economy coined the term. It realized the paradigm shift itself. This book is essential for those who want to learn the new rules of the game of converging industries. Based on the multiclient studies the Alliance for Converging Technologies and its members brings the information to you at almost no costs. A lot of value for very little money.
