Overview

"Business competition will change radically in the next century. Short-sighted companies will go out of business. Survivors will successfully transition from the so-called Information Age of this century to the Intelligence Age of the 21st Century.Ten years in the making, this book paints competition of the future based on in-depth research of worldwide business over the past 100 years. By analogy, it shows business competition in its 19th-Century childhood, 20th-Century adolescence, and 21st-Century adulthood. The book highlights new beginnings - the Intelligence Age, highly networked ""MegaStrategic Business Entities,"" and the need for both a ""Competitive Knowledge Base"" and ""Perpetual Strategy Process"" to provide an early warning system for executives.This is must-reading for business executives, managers and everyday consumers who want to plot a successful course for the future. It is also an invaluable reference tool for educators guiding the business leaders of tomorrow."

Reviews

Tyson's perception of Asian business is obviously based on much research and experience in the region! -James Ku Inchcape Pacific, China Tyson's message is one of both future vision and historical perspective...should be required reading for everyone in business. -Alan Eisenberg AT&T, United States At last an American writes about companies outside of America! He has achieved an excellent balance between Europe, North America and the Asia/Pacific region with his examples. -Hans-Jurgen Welz Boehringer Mannheim, Germany Tyson's prescription for a 'Perpetual Strategy Process' is timely! Gone are the days when companies could develop their business plans and strategies only once a year. -Mike Kosicek Westinghouse, United States A great book! Get it. Read it. Now. Tim Powell, Infostrat (FOLLOWING REVIEW ADDED 7/22/98) ... maps out the crucial role of perpetual strategy, in which constant change is met with an equally swift and decisive decision-making process. -Workforce
