The Ultimate Game of Strategy

Peter Small throws out the conventional rule book and with The Ultimate Game of Strategy analyzes the fresh mindset and skill sets – ultimately the new conceptual models you will need to equip yourself with to play and win in the world of e-business.Establishing your successful niche in the lucrative world of e-business is not about competing to win money or rewards – it is about winning co-operation. Mutual benefit holds the key to becoming a winner – this game is about getting and keeping attention and co-operation both from other players and from customers. It is a game that is 99% about communication and only 1% about technology.

Using game theory and practical examples, Peter Small explains how, by building up a network of collaborative associations with the people who know about and use the technology, and with customers and clients, you can create e-business solutions that can readily adapt to customer needs, technological change or competitive moves. He provides a practical toolkit that will allow you to build the kind of personal communications networks that will enable you to establish your own niche in the world of e-business, and to grow it successfully and profitably.
