Reviews:
“To get a more in-depth view of vision at work, consider Paradigm Shift: The New Promise of Information Technology — written over 10 years ago. While reading Tapscott and Caston’s forecasts for the re-engineered enterprise, remind yourself of the date he wrote this material and what hadn’t happened yet! The work predated the first browser , Mosaic, by three years and no one had heard of the word Internet; we were paying exorbitant fees to access boring content (no graphics or images) from content providers such as Dialog or Compuserve; software vendors were tied into preferred hardware suppliers; and most businesses still didn’t have a fax machine.” – eacademy, The Test of a Visionary: Tapscott Passes!
