Synopsis

Learn HOW TO provide information needed for growth in today's economy -- for employees, managers, and customers -- On Demand.
From business luminaries that have made -- On Demand -- a reality!
Readers learn how to go from a defensive, cost-dominated struggle, that is unpredictable and uncontrollable to a NEW environment where speed, flexibility, and adaptability are the possible.
Many case studies to clearly illustrate how to not only survive but grow today and in the future... This is a business book that shows the reader how to look at their business issues and gain an advantage over their competitors by embracing IBM's On Demand strategy. On Demand is really just a new way of looking at what is happening in today's markets due to computer technology and faster information delivery. Companies are leaping over competition by embracing the technology changes and dealing with their customers and suppliers not in a linear fashion but as a "value space". It is no longer a supply chain. Chain implies linearity. Instaneous need fulfillment is the answer. Those suppliers who can deliver will gain share and this book talks about the internal personnel issues, management issues and business culture issues necessary to make it happen. On Demand is now gaining strength and acceptance in the market. You can see it in the amazing push to grid computing that we are seeing now, the outsourcing phenomenon, and other issues. It is IBM's theme for the foreseeable future.
