Book Presentation

Creating Value in the Network Economy by Don Tapscott

Book Abstract

There is no doubt that questions still outnumber answers on the issue of how value will ultimately come to be created in the era of the network economy. However, there is now a growing amount of evidence that any company or organization which does not redevelop its business model around the use of the Internet will miss out on participating in the growth of large new sectors of the economy.

In short, success in the network economy will depend on moving beyond merely having a Web presence to utilizing an integrated Web-based business model.
