Résumé

In The Death of Distance, veteran journalist Frances Cairncross presented a disturbingly accurate vision of how new communications technologies would change our lives. Now, she turns her incisive eye on how the Internet will alter the role of management and the structure of the organization.

Inspired by Cairncross's most recent Economist Survey, The Company of the Future argues that we've grossly underestimated the power of the Internet to change the way companies behave. We stand at the brink of a period of fundamental organizational change from which will emerge a new type of company-one that will require a new set of leadership and management skills to run it.

This bold new book asserts that managers and their companies must embrace and exploit the very technologies that have upended their jobs and their businesses. They must look inside-improving the relationships among managers and employees-before they can realize the enormous potential that new technologies hold for enabling collaboration with customers, suppliers, and partners. And they must learn to wed technological and human skills in ways that enable effective talent management and customer relationship building, fast and flexible decision-making, and open, credible communications among all partners.

Setting the new agenda for managerial success, this insightful guide will help managers anticipate and master the challenges ahead in our networked world.
