There's no blue sky sci-fi here: the predictions, whether you agree with them or not, are all hard-headed business. The authors claim 85% accuracy from their previous predictions and confidently expect the same in this book. As they say:
"...predicting technological capabilities over the next ten years is relatively straightforward. What is difficult is predicting which capabilities will be exploited and how..."
What makes the book so interesting and valuable is that the authors "show their working". Starting with a brief description of technological trends already in play, such as biomimetics, increased bandwidth, WiFi and artificial intelligence, they plot the network of interactions with social and economic trends to estimate the probable future. Business 2010 may be aimed at corporate leaders and entrepreneurs, but if Pearson and Lyons are close to correct, there won't be many people whose lives don't drastically change before the end of the decade.
We are already seeing the leading edge of some of the changes that the authors detail: the automation of most administrative and call-centre type jobs and the geographic dispersal of many knowledge workers, often to their homes. But Pearson and Lyons look further into the future and see the "de-skilling" of many professions, such as medicine, law and management. All these tasks can be done more cheaply and reliably by software. "Personal care" workers may thrive, but those of us who aren't in the tiny minority of highly sought-after creative geniuses, can expect a continuing and stressful cycle of redundancy and retraining.
Who are the institutional losers? The authors see a hollowing out of power, a movement towards purely local organizations on the one hand and global entities on the other. National governments will become increasingly irrelevant as bits flow across country borders. Corporations will also lose out to smaller "virtual companies" and "virtual co-operatives of workers", electronically created organizations with no geographically identifiable location that are quickly formed and eliminated as needed. Only mines and factories will change more slowly:
"...General Motors is more likely to survive another 20 years than Microsoft..."
Substantive debate about the future of the "jobs economy" in industrialized nations and about international governance has hardly started. Pearson and Lyons have made an excellent start towards a more thoughtful and less politicized dialog.
‘This is a unique and imaginative piece of work. It describes in simple terms the practical toolsand more importantly the means of gaining the support of management and employees toachieve the desired success.’
‘An excellent reference work for busy managers wanting to improve their performance and thatof their companies, whether large or small.’

A Great Set Of Succinct Management Tools.......2005-11-15
This book provides 94 different management tools ranging from the well known ones like the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Matrix and Michael Porter's 5 Forces Model to lesser known but equally useful tools like Concept Fan and Five Whys.
The great thing about this book is the simple and succinct presentation of the management tools with easy-to-understand diagrams and clear examples. Each tool also has an accompanying exercise that allows the reader to use the tool in a practical manner.
Another thing I found to be incredibly valuable is the one page "Project Matrix" where the authors list which tool to use during various phases of different type of projects.
The phases are divided into the following:
1. Define objectives
2. Analyse situation
3. Create options
4. Select options
5. Implementing change
6. Monitor and review
The project types that are listed are as follows:
1. Business strategy
2. Sales and marketing
3. Manufacturing
4. Customer/Supplier chain
5. Quality
6. Design
7. Information Technology
A great management toolkit indeed.
A very handy reference book........2005-09-10
It is hard to come across a good reference book. In the old days, that is pre-1970, the best reference books for Engineers came from Marks Handbook or Machinery's Handbook. For Electrically inclined people they turned to HAM Operator construction books.
Now, in the white collar world of cubicles, and computers, we have digitized versions of the old standbys. The paper versions of the books are too inclusive and unweildy. So most Engineers tend to go on line or purchase digital CD versions of the books.
That is well and good for traditional tools used by the skilled professional. But that is NOT the case for the wide bredth and scope of meeting and analysis tools that have been developed and honed in the last few decades.
But how can one understand the tools, unless one is presented with the knowledge and technology to do so? Not every company will willingly fly their employees to an expensive 3 day training class. And even if they did, how would one identify which tool is available for which problem?
This book does this job nicely. It is a simple guide and resource of techniques used to solve problems. It runs the list from SWOT Analysis to TBPM Process Mapping, team building, ROI, and development checks. It is an invaluable resource.
It is all meat. No fluff here. It gives you just the information necessary to start and work a analysis. Then, if you need more information, you can easily cruse the internet.
I recommed this. I also think that it deserves a place in any Managers office, and certainly a handy guide for any white collar employee. It is well worth the price! Compare the cost of this book to any Speciality technical resources. Typically books on plastics are $100+. I urge a serious look into this book. It really is a great guide.
Good and handy references.......2004-07-27
It is a good and handy references for finding different tools on problem solving and project completion for a busy business man. This is not a book to read, but a book for search.
Everytime, you search it and the treasure will be here.

Book Description
Makes Japanese sources accessible in English
Although much of the work on Japanese economic history is inaccessible to Westerners, many of Japan's leading economic historians have published widely in English. Combined with the work of Western economists who can utilize Japanese-language sources, this series assembles a wide range of English-language articles on the key issues in Japanese economic development. Individual volumes cover the interwar period, postwar reconstruction and growth, the textile industry, demographics, agriculture, trade, and the rise of commerce and "protoindustry" in the Tokugawa era.
An information-packed classroom and research resource
An introductory essay in each volume discusses the significance of the articles, compares various economic development in Japan with those in other countries, and puts studies in the context of similar studies in Europe. A versatile research resource, this 7-volume set is a veritable gold mine of hard-to-find information and data from diverse sources and a godsend to everyone interested in comparative economic and social history. Professors will appreciate the collection because it gives them instant access to less familiar English-language sources and is an easy way to introduce students to doing their own research. Students will appreciate the many articles as a mother lode of information for reports and papers. Researchers will be pleased by the coverage of more than three centuries of Japanese history and life.

Book Description
Too often, today's managers are sold simple solutions to complex problems. But as many soon discover, simplicity is rarely effective in the face of complexity, change and diversity. Despite apparent promise, quick-fix panaceas fail because they are not holistic or creative enough. They focus on parts of the organization rather than the whole, take little account of interaction, and pander to the notion that there is one best solution in all circumstances. As instances of such failure escalate, intelligent managers are increasingly seeking to improve results through Systems Thinking.
Whatever stage you are at in your study of Systems Thinking, this book will help. If you are new to the field then it will serve as a solid introduction. If you are familiar with a few concepts but not with how they can be linked and used by managers, then it will give you a greater understanding of how holistic ideas developed and how to use them in practice. And if you are expert in some approaches but not in others, then it will expand your knowledge and provide you with more choice. In all cases you will achieve competency in creative holism, emerge better equipped to solve complex problems, and ultimately become a more effective Systems Thinking manager.
“It’s neat, easy to read and easy to absorb... It is a boon to students and executives alike..”

A great systems theory source book.......2005-01-25
As a long time student and teacher of systems thinking I welcome the addition of this book to the Amazon collection. As far as I can tell there is no other book that includes all the major developments in systems thinking over the last fifty years. This lack of a source book has in part meant that systems thinking has taken a back seat in management and business development in Europe.
The book starts by clarifying what the systems language means. As this a language that has been hijacked by colloquialism this section is an excellent primer for those wanting to understand the theoretical and philosophical roots of systems. This is followed by a look at applying systems thinking and in particular the creative nature of developments over the last couple of decades. This is an important aspect to be covered as many assume systems must be technical and rigid.
The bulk of the middle part of the book reviews the major developments in approaches, including Soft Systems Methodology, Complexity Theory and Systems Dynamics. These are clearly labelled, with background history, examples of application and clear illustrations. The value of each approach is explicitly stated in terms of management helping the reader to grasp which method might be most appropriate to their situation.
The final section helps the reader to decide how to maximise the benefit of the different holistic approaches. It draws them together using critical thinking approaches developed by the author and others. Examples of application are given although elements come across as a little too philosophical for the average manager.

Great book to read when starting an ECommerce site........2002-11-06
This book is very informative on starting an ECommerce site. I especially like the instruction it gives on PLANNING the website and strategy beforehand. The book also discusses the important elements of creating a website, one being Top Management buy in.
eCommerce another powerful channel.......2002-09-26
The book is excellent but misses out on highlighting the really big successes that established brick and mortar companies gain by adding the Internet as part of their multi-channel marketing, distribution,manfacturing and design and development activities of products and services.
These multi-channel organizations will do 80% of the eCommerce on a global basis. The author should come out with a sequel with a lot of case studies of the incredible success stories of multi-chanel organizations use of Internet technologies.

I knew Dr. Robert T. Plant.......2002-02-12
I personally have met Dr. Plant, and I would never have purchased this book if it wasn't required for this class. Dr. Plant last worked in industry almost 20 years ago, and has spent those years in an academic silo. He's certainly no expert, and this book is evidence of it. As someone who has actually implemented e-business solutions for a number of large companies, Dr. Plant's 'ideas' are worthless in the real world. This book is more marketing hype and 'internet bubble' dreamery than reality. Save your money. (And if you are forced to take his class, try to get out of it.)
Required reading for IT professionals too!.......2001-04-12
My expectations from this book were twofold: (1) gain insights into the business value of e-commerce so I could have a fuller understanding of how my role as a service delivery consultant fit into the bigger picture, and (2) see the implementation strategy from the business process owner's point of view. This book fully met my expectations and provided further insights that I did not expect.
An an IT professional my point of view is different from the intended audience of this book and this is reflected in my review. First, this book provided my with an opportunity to observe the business forces that drive the systems that I support. I gained a good understanding of the business imperatives, as well as the challenges that the business face when developing an e-commerce strategy. From this I gained an appreciation of how the projects that IT initiate are first conceived and was able to see the direct link between these projects and how they ultimately relate to business objectives. These insights are valuable and inspire me to seek ways to better align my domain, service delivery, to business goals.
I also gained a much greater understanding or the many faces of e-commerce, such as the unique requirements of business-to-customer as contrasted with, for example, business to business. From my vantage point prior to reading this book it was just a collection of applications and interfaces. After reading this book I see beyond the technology itself to the real purposes and their associated goals.
This book also contains information that is directly applicable to my profession. The ownership issues and e-strategy leadership chapters gave me a clear view of who the real stakeholders are, which is of the utmost importance to service delivery. This information sparked some ideas about support strategies and other issues that I need to consider with respect to e-commerce systems from an IT perspective. Equally important is the chapters on the roll out strategy, which is a space where I have a definite role, and the scorecard approach to measuring the effectiveness of an internet strategy. The latter gave me some clear ideas about how to align IT service delivery to business stakeholders in the e-commerce domain.
In my opinion this book is as applicable to IT professionals as it is to business process owners and decision makers. It gives the business side a clear understanding of the factors and issues that go into an e-commerce strategy, and an approach to developing and implementing the strategy. It gives the IT professional some unique insights on that drives the requirement to develop and implement e-commerce systems and shows areas where we can add value to the process and help assure a successful implementation.
Strategic Analysis of " Formulation of Strategy".......2000-07-23
A comprehensive manual written by a professional to be used as a guide for novice or expert to guarantee successful e-business activity.
Amazon.com
It is widely acknowledged that businesses today must harness the Net to effectively utilize the myriad details they glean from--and then pass around to--their various stakeholders. But how best to do that? e-Business Intelligence, by the head of a global company that helps others develop such efforts, lays out a variety of interrelated methodologies already in use by pioneering corporations around the world. In doing so, author Bernard Liautaud explains how to move from data (the extensive raw stats to which most contemporary firms are privy) to information (the proper context in which they must be applied) to intelligence (the collective knowledge from which appropriate actions are initiated). Liautaud shows how companies like Eli Lilly, MasterCard, and British Airways have created electronic relationships among employees, suppliers, consumers, and business partners to boost marketing, customer service, quality control, purchasing, and other activities. He explains how internal "information democracies" allow them to instantaneously distribute pertinent details throughout their organizations, while external "information embassies" facilitate the rapid transfer of pertinent facts to outside constituencies. To help readers develop their own individualized strategies, he presents specifics on gathering "customer intelligence," sharing product information, optimizing supply chains, and performing other critical tasks. --Howard Rothman
Book Description
Internationally celebrated ebusiness innovator, Bernard Liautaud, explains why the key to ebusiness success is knowing how to transform the vast reservoir of raw data found in every company into a corporate intelligence gold mine.
This book focuses on the three main areas of ebusiness intelligence—intranets, extranets, and business-to-business ecommerce. He describes cutting-edge strategies for accessing, analyzing, and sharing corporate data both internally and externally with customers, partners, and suppliers. With the help of case studies from Lucent, Dow Chemical, Disney, Go Network, and other ebusiness giants, Liautaud explains the what, why, and how of ebusiness intelligence in the new information economy.
Bernard Liautaud (Palo Alto, CA) is CEO of Business Objects, the world's leading provider of ebusiness solutions, and, according to Intelligent Enterprise magazine, one of the "12 Most Influential Companies in the Information Technology Industry." In 1996, five years after founding Business Objects, Liataud was named one of BusinessWeek's "Hottest Entrepreneurs of the Year."

very good.......2006-02-03
Great for someone who is looking to expand his knowledge of what is BI and how to use it to improve his performance results.
Buy it, worth the money!
Exactly to the point.......2005-03-12
This book goes exactly to the point that hurts most of the companies even in this days of year 2005. It will take some time to define the standards in this BI industry but definitely this book marks the beginning of it. Other more detailed more sophisticated books might be written by others but the most difficult is to write the first one. Others inspired by this book will probably write new ones.
Not enough details to be useful.......2003-08-19
I found this book to be very weak in details and concepts. It's easy to say that companies need business intelligence and throw around some very vague and general facts and examples. And that's what this book does. The case studies offer no details at all. If you've never heard of e-business or intelligence (basically if you've been living in a cave) then this book will introduce the topic at a high level. But if you're looking for more information you'd better look some place else. I know the author is the founder of Business Objects, but I just expected more from this book and was very disappointed.
No business intelligence, just business promotion.......2002-11-27
While doing periodical research on the business intelligence subject, I found this book as a new acquisition at the university library; sorry, but it is a long white paper on the advantages and why to use a software tool for doing business intelligence, never minding about any data/facts that may be found out of the bits and bytes world: Informal sources? External data? Competitor intelligence? Who cares, if you want a 360° view of your customer, don't need more than a computer and some software--at the end, culture, attitude and pure business sense seem like a waste of time. Suddenly, I discovered why this bothered me: The autor is one of Business Objects' top executives! Now, it all made sense: It is like other books written by people who need to sell a product (and Business Objects is a good seller indeed) so writting down their way of seeing the world gets them a guruesque position in front of their customers and prospects. If you need to really learn about business intelligence, don't bother reading it: you can find lots of free white papers that cover the same subject in the BI software vendors web sites. Trying to understand business intellingence as something that needs nothing more than a software tool, leaving behind all the intelectual and analytical work to do, is equivalent to define mathematics as the use of a scientific calculator.
Should be read by all managers!.......2002-08-26
This book was written for managers in mind. This book does not cover technical details of data warehouses or data mining. Given its scope this book accomplishes its task efficiently, with no real wasted anecdotes and personal opinions. The author a well-known expert on business objects really displays his ability to convey the information accurately and illustrates his points well. This will aid any manager get up to speed on the missing information sources that can occur in any business and apply them to their own business. Overall, this book accomplishes what it intends to do and that is to inform the reader on the various methods a business can utilize information to gain efficiency and a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Great book packed with value.......2003-09-28
I have been active in eBusiness ranging from large multi-nationals to smaller start-ups and I found this book to hold some great insights and practical advice for navigating both the business and technical issues related to development of a successful online business. Warren Raischs'vision of the value of developing trust networks as well as using the online venues for capturing marketplace knowledge were very useful. It was a good purchase for me.
Nice titles, low value.......2002-04-30
At a first look, this book appears to address all you would like to learn about B2B.
However the actual content behind such interesting titles does not match the expectantions it raised to me: sometime it is very poor, sometime it is very generic or specifically related to a single software provider viewpoint (C1).
It has been a wrong buy for me.
A "Must Add" To Your Collection.......2001-09-05
Over the years, the Peppers and Rogers duo have made an outstanding contribution to the field of marketing and the process of developing relationships with customers. "One to One B2B" is another installment. This well-written book builds on their earlier works and does a great deal to define in a tangible fashion the new "customer relationship mentality" that is so essential for all organziations to consider in today's real economy. The book is thought provoking and stimulating. It is evident the authors who have pioneered the bulk of the original thinking and philosophy underlying customer relationship management want to share their compelling philosophy. They are very convincing in citing the numerous advantages that accrue to those who embrace their approach to winning and retaining customers. And, this book seems to be committed to showing a straightforward, direct blueprint for implementation.
The first chapters constitute a worthwhile review of well established, familiar concepts, but they also offer some different slants that are extremely valuable supplements. The authors, in the spirit of the "learning relationshp", revise and modify to incorporate the most recent developments in the field. The updates and refinements are definitely added value.
The middle five chapters are central to the book's mission. Here the reader experiences very detailed coverage of companies and organizations that have adopted the "one to one" way of doing business. This section of the book provides this detailed description in case study format illustrating the steps of implementation and explaining the benefits associated with each implementation phase. New concepts such as a "customer touch map" are very worthwhile additions to the CRM arsenal. The chapters cover a broad range of case studies including such divers applications as Dell Computer and LifeWay Christian Resources. All of this makes for a very rewarding reading experience.
And, in keeping with their well established literary charcter, Peppers and Rogers have an eye to the future that they share with the reader. For example, they don't shy away from offering advice to Dell on future direction in light of the challenges posed by the current environment. And, they take time to weigh the eventual impact of a B2B world that is rapidly extending its scope, offering assessments from their very informed perspectives.
As an academician who has spent considerable time studying the CRM movement and consulting with companies that embrace the same, this book definitely offers value and is must for anyone that is committed to the idea of cultivating and preserving customer relationships.
Great B2B reference for 2001.......2001-04-18
This book is packed with information about the current state of B2B marketplaces. Raisch presents an evolutionary model of B2B markets. There are a large amount of errors and repetitive information. One could complain or be grateful that the book is interesting enough to overlook its shortcomings. The structure of the book and content are definitely worth these errors. This book is a good overview of B2B marketplaces from today's view. One could call it the B2B eCommerce "Bible" since it is presented more as a reference than an analysis. There is not a good indication of where some companies he references will be in the near future.
Good, current overview.......2001-03-21
This book provides considerable information about the current state of B2B marketplaces. The book is not particularly well-edited and the same information is repeated in several places. The book could easily have been published at one-half its length and provided the same information.
Raisch presents a four-level model of the evolution of B2B markets, Order Management, Business Community Integrators, e-Marketplaces, and Value Trust Networks. Although he talks about the last two quite a bit (especially Value Trust Networks), he never really defines them or gives good examples. He talks about what they might accomplish, but never gives the reader an idea of what they look like or what they will look like.
Aside from these negatives, the book does provide an excellent overview of the current state of B2B and a good analysis of where it might be headed.
