Swenson of Lockheed martin on leveraging the Internet to manage information from both inside and outside the company. And more...

If you are a manager evaluating the potential of the Internet for the first time, an executive seeking to gain more value from existing Internet connections, a consultant, an entrepreneur, or an Internet business user, you will refer to The Internet Strategy Handbook again and again.
