Engines of Prosperity: Templates for the Information Age (Series on Technology Management)

This work is the joint product of an academician and a business practitioner, both of whom share a concern about the inadequacy of current business models and practices. It examines the business environment and explores the underlying drivers - the "Engines of Prosperity" - that set the rules of competitive rivalry. It provides advice for managers on how to operate in a world characterized by Information Age technology, rapid change, deepening global linkages, increasing returns to sale, and the continuous unbundling of value chains.
