Book Description

Bell's prophetic 1976 forecast of the Information Age and how it would radically alter the social structure. With a new introduction by Bell.

In 1976, when Daniel Bell first published The Coming of Post-Industrial Society, he predicted a vastly different world-one that would rely upon an economics of information, as opposed to the economics of goods that had existed up to then. Bell argued that the new society would not displace the old one but rather overlay it in profound ways, much as industrialization continues to coexist with the agrarian sectors of our society.

In Bell's prescient vision, the post-industrial society would include the birth and growth of a knowledge class, a change from goods to services, and changes in the role of women. All of these would be based upon an increasing dependence on science as a means of innovation; as a means of technical and social change.

The Coming of Post-Industrial Society remains an important book for a whole new generation of politicians, economists, intellectuals, and students.

A Venture In Social Forecasting.......2002-04-23

The Coming of the Post Industrial Society; A Venture in Social Forecasting by Daniel Bell

Daniel Bell is a renowned sociologist and post-Marxist, his prophetic book was first published in 1976 and republished in 1999 accompanied with a new foreword by the author. Since 1976 many of the concepts, theories and phrases Bell pioneered have become naturalised, universal conventions, and thus Bell should, most definitely, be considered a futurist.

This definitive book explores the `coming age' and evaluates how this new Post Industrial Society will alter the structure of society. As Bell openly concedes `the sociologist is always tempted to play the prophet and if not the prophet the seer' (Chapter 1). He does, however, explain that the `forecasting' he attempts is different from predicting. For, forecasting is only possible where there are `regularities and recurrences of phenomenon (and these are rare). It is only possible where one can assume a high degree of rationality on the part of the man who influences events-agreement to follow the rules'. And it seems that Bell's sociological background has given him the required understanding.

The new foreword shows considerable contemplation of the books success. Bell explains how there has been an unprecedented increase in the use of the phrase `post industrial society' but he is not complacent, rather he underlines the lack of `specificity as to what is connotes'. He describes how the general usage of the phrase, which is often used in reference to the decline in manufacturing and industry, does not acknowledge the parallel changes in social structure, social organisation and the new classes that will be, and have been created, specifically the class of knowledge (this theme is further explored in chapter 3, entitled The New Class Structure of the Post Industrial Society).[ Bell adamantly argues that his vision of the Post Industrial Society does not see the old one displaced by the new, rather a synthesis emerges in which the new society will overlay the old one in profound ways, much as industrialisation continues to coexist within the agrarian sectors of our society.] Thus it seems that Bell does not merely use the new foreword to hail his work a success but to redress, the misunderstood, misinterpreted or inadequately adopted parts of his social forecast.

Bell explains how it is inadequate to define the new society primarily by the services but he does see the productive nature of them. While society naturally embraces the three distinctions of industry as primary, secondary and tertiary in the new foreword Bell makes further distinctions by suggesting `quaternary' (covering trade and finance) and `quinary' (health and education), these are the involved in the economics of information not goods or labour. And thus it seems that while Bell has pioneered he wants to pioneer further. He further states that the central and novel feature of the Post Industrial Society is the `codification of theoretical knowledge and new relation of science to technology'. Major developments of the 20th century came from revolutions in physics and biology as opposed to the `inspired and talented tinkerers' like Alexander Graham Bell. This suggests the increasing dependence on science as a means of technical and social change, and science is wholly dependent on knowledge and information.

For collectivists only..........2002-04-30

Failing to apply the lessons gathered over 2500 years of Western political philosophy and the 150 years of this nation's history prior to the Roosevelt regime, this book takes an incredibly biased view of the many deceitful actions taken by Roosevelt and his statist cronies during their underhanded and, unfortunately, successful efforts to initiate the transition of this nation from the minimal central government envisioned by our Founding Fathers to the current era of total government. This book is one for those who believe that the 50% of their income that is currently taken from them via direct and hidden taxes is simply "their fair share" of the financial burden caused by a bloated, inefficient, and incredibly intrusive but, to them, infinitely desirable central government.

The hype and market valuations surrounding certain Internet stocks may lead one to conclude that the e-commerce race is over--or nearly so. Clearly, the Internet has caught traditional companies off guard, giving the more nimble dot coms a huge head start. But the race is far from over, says Mary Modahl, a vice president at Forrester Research. In Now or Never, she argues that we are in the first year of a "ten year transition in the way consumers shop and save," and that winning in the Internet space not only requires identifying consumers that are most likely to take their shopping online, but exploiting the new and different business models made possible by online commerce.

Modahl believes that conventional demographics, which segment populations according to their income and education, is a poor predictor of online behavior. As an alternative, she advances Forrester Research's work on "technographics," which measure consumers' attitudes toward technology. Forrester has found that 52 percent of the population is optimistic about technology and is "marching happily towards online shopping," and she shows how companies can better target their marketing strategies to meet this growing legion of consumers. In addition, Modahl considers the "post-Internet competitive environment," which she thinks will be "far more fluid and responsive to changes in supply and demand." Using examples of traditional industries that have had their business models turned upside down by Internet economies--newspapers, travel agencies, and brokerages--Modahl offers ways that the old guard can better cope with technology change, channel conflict, and their own inertia toward this new marketplace.

Well written and presented, Now or Never is a concise distillation of Forrester Research's approach to e-commerce. Anyone whose livelihood is connected to--or threatened by--the relentless march of the Internet would do well to read and consider this book. --Harry C. Edwards

Book Description

Is it too late to join the New Economy? With the rise of the internet on one hand and a high-tech stock shakeouts on the other, traditional brick-and-mortar companies find themselves squeezed between the dot.coms and fear of going on-line too late, after winners have cleaned up.

Mary Modahl thinks now is exactly the time to make the e-business transition. The next five years will be decisive on the Web -- and your company can successfully compete, if it relies on more than Internet platitudes to make the jump. Modahl presents a groundbreaking model of consumer behavoir called Technographics: Built on interviews with 250,000 Americans, it divides consumers into ten segments, according to their attitudes toward the Internet. With this and other concepts, Modahl shows how each business can create an intelligent, targeted strategy of its own. Engagingly written, brimming with real-life stories, Now or Never offers potent, timely guidance, based on research only limited to only the biggest corporations.

A good read.......2006-02-21

The next few years, will be extremely important for deciding the loyalties of Internet consumers. Companies that don't transition to the Internet when their customers do, will be left behind. The first step is to when your customers will transition to the Internet. To this end, the author outlines a method called Technographics, developed by Forrester Research, that categorizes customers based on their attitudes towards technology. This method allows you to know how many of your customers are online, how many will be online soon, and how many may never be online. Technographics classifies consumers based on three factors that influence buying behavior:
1. Attitude towards technology: is the consumer optimistic or pessimistic about using technology?
2. Income: The amount of money consumers have to spend strongly influences online behavior.
3. Motivation to use technology: Beyond comfort with technology, how motivated is the consumer to use it?

After you have determined when and how your customers will get online, you must develop a strategy for reaching them. Whether your customers are early adopters of the Internet, reluctant users in the mainstream or low-income consumers who will probably not be able to become frequent online purchasers, you must detail your marketing strategies in order to reach them. In Internet terms, this means that you must go where they go online, and advertise to them there.

It is also necessary to understand the ways in which the Internet is actually transforming the markets. The author calls this new environment Dynamic Trade. Dynamic Trade occurs as markets become more fluid and responsive to changes in supply and demand. Prices are able to fall to their competitive point faster in response to demand. Companies must be able to keep up with the markets in order to survive.

All you want to know on e-consumers, commerce, and business.......2002-11-15

Internet is disturbing the "old economy", but we do not always understand what and where are the changes and how we can move to get a chance to compete in this new environment. Another question is about the urgency to take action.

Now or Never is Mary Modahl's answer. She wants to convince us that each company needs to define its own Web strategy to keep contact with consumers.

In Information Age, customers are more than ever at the centre of each organization, and a preliminary is to understand them to be able to serve them products and services they want. Marketing people are using classical segmentation tools to do the job, but these one are no more valid to explain consumer's attitudes on the Web. It's why the author is sharing with us technographics segmentation developed by Forrester research. Aside income, two new dimensions are introduced: consumers' attitude towards technology and motivation to use this technology. Technographics divides consumers in ten different groups from early Internet adopters as "Fast Forwards" to "Laggards," people who will be very late or never buying on Internet. Knowing this consumers segmentation is a base to develop an adapted marketing approach and to develop a pertinent Web strategy. But it also gives confidence to every organization, when we learn that Internet mainstream customers are still buying outside Internet and will represent the real challenge and opportunity of coming years. That means it's not too late to define a Web strategy to gain Internet know-how and be ready for the arrival of these mainstream customers.

But knowing e-consumers is not enough to understand all the challenges on the Web. Internet environment has its own rules and more transparency implies an increasing apparent supply with correlatively pressure on prices leading at the end to prices responding to demand. Forrester calls this environment Dynamic Trade, which requires Internet businesses to scale up fast with huge investments in marketing and technology to gain a necessary critical mass. It's a big change compared to industrial age economic conditions as we find there a typical Information environment presented by Carl Shapiro and Hal R. Varian in their book Information Rules where you need to invest importantly before arriving to marginal cost near zero. It also explains why start-ups needed so much money from venture capitalists to set up their businesses.

If the first message we received is that moving to the Web is demanding important investments, we discover later that start-ups are creating a new revenue mix by focusing on new customers, new value, and new pricing structures, which undermine traditional revenue streams. Mary Modahl is illustrating this strategy by well-presented experiences she got in classified advertising, travel agents, and brokerage business environments.

Dynamic Trade being so open to competition, is it possible to build some competitive advantage? The answer is yes through experiential branding, physical distribution control, and consumer information leverage. This part of the book is important because it shows how organizations can built a competitive advantage on the specificities of Web environment. We do not often see such ideas so clearly developed.

But are traditional companies able to move to this new environment? The answer is also yes if they are able to defy the gravity of the old ways of doing business. First, the attitude towards technology must be changed. Because of importance of technology choices to gain market share, technology must be integrated in a "Whole View" including marketing and business strategy. It's also necessary to use the best technology and to integrate new technologies, which are ripe for consumer markets. That means that technology managers need to move from a mission critical to a mission re-defining. Traditional companies need also to solve their distribution channel conflicts to have chance to enter the Internet market space. Mary Modahl is explaining there that they have no choice and is developing in her book a strategy to solve distribution channels conflicts. Finally traditional companies need to find the best organization to move to the Web. Three different strategies: wholesale transformation, risk balancing, and venture capital participation are presented with sound examples.

But the final word is that winners to gain the battle for Internet customers can be among either start-ups or traditional companies if they have the will to win.

Mary Modahl's book is a well written, easy reading contribution to understand the Web environment and is going much further than how to win Internet consumers with a complete set of strategies for start-ups as for traditional companies. Mary Modahl's own experience is also adding to the interest of this book, which is illustrated all along the pages with pertinent examples taken in real life.

I can only recommend this book to every executive, who wants to be part of the "New Economy".

A fast-track guide to predicting web success!.......2001-01-03

An easy read, but contains some keys to understanding your customer base, and better yet, predicting who will actually purchase product off your website. This book, combined with your understanding of your customers, could save you a lot of wasted time and energy going after the wrong customer segment, or putting up content that is inappropriate for the people visiting (or not visiting) your website.

The best e-Commerce book I've read, a must read for anyone in charge of setting e-Commerce strategy. Nice going, Mary!

Too easy to read.......2000-10-06

This book is easy to read on the beach. However, it doesn't contain any new information. Regular readers of the business section of a newspaper know many similar examples described in the book. If you have attended once a marketing class, you should know the rest. This book is intended for people knowing nothing about marketing or e-commerce.
