From the Inside Flap

Tech Trending The real technology visionaries don′t talk about electronic commerce, or buying and selling on the World Wide Web. They′re preparing for a networked world where tech trending–professionals operate their companies from the Web. Each day we will log onto our company website and operate from its web–based work stations. The Internet will be able to read and transmit all the information required to operate within an electronic supply network. Whatever software we need to run our businesses will be downloaded from service centers based on the Web. And thanks to the evolution of wireless technology we will be able to run our businesses en route to east Afghanistan carrying only a cell phone and a laptop. Much change must take place for the dream of a networked world to become reality. Tech Trending is both a visionary book and a practical guide to preparing yourself and your company for the networked world of the not–too–distant future. Amy Zuckerman offers advice on the technology trends that are here to stay and how to organize your business to meet the demands of technology change. Most importantly, it puts you, as tech trending professionals, firmly in the driver′s seat by offering help on tracking technology change, managing your business in the new world and training employees to meet technology change and technology demands.
