Business at the Speed of Thought: Succeeding in the Digital Economy (Penguin Business Library)
So where do you want to go tomorrow? That’s the question Bill Gates tries to answer in Business @ the Speed of Thought. Gates offers a 12-step programme for companies wanting to do business in the next millennium. The book’s premise: Thanks to technology, the speed of business is accelerating at an ever-increasing rate and to survive, it must develop an infrastructure–a “digital nervous system”–that allows for the unfettered movement of information inside a company.

Time for Business to get into IT,
I found this book very useful in explaining the way that IT can be applied by businesses, large and small.
Although much of the information contained in the book is well recognised within the IT industry, the message still hasn’t hit home for many business owners and managers.
Working in systems development, I still find that senior managers barely have a grasp of IT at all, let alone how it is going to shape their industry.
The message from this book is very timely, and is directed at the right audience. The limiting factor in business today is not IT, but people’s ability to exploit it. I think that this has been true for a long time now !

|GOOD BOOK SHAME ABOUT THE NARRATOR,
THE BOOK IS VERY GOOD WITH INTERESTING TOPICS ETC. but the narrator is so boring! The man who reads this has no enthusiasm to his voice and just goes on in the same pitch throughout the whole cassette and you just find yourself drifting off and not listening. I thought it might just be me so got a second and third opinion and everyone agrees the guy audio version should be read by someone much more dynamic than this guy. Bill Gates obviously hasn’t listened to tape!! Anyway the book itself is very good and well worth reading in its paper format! It is very interesting and covers all issues of the digital nervous system and how this will affect everyday life in the future. Quite exiting concepts for us all!
