In today’s dynamic business climate, technology is both a key business edge and also an intrinsic part and parcel of every executive’s work. From the Internet to wireless networks, from data warehousing and data security to customer relationship management, it is imperative for today’s managers to go beyond simply the buzzwords. You need a clear understanding of the significance of critical technologies, how they drive business, and how you can derive strategic benefits and returns from technology.

This book will serve as your technology interpreter. The expert authors have identified 10 powerful, business-critical technologies and provide clear descriptions and lucid explanations of both their core concepts and their likely pervasive impact on all businesses big and small.

Too many books on technology promise a clear and concise roadmap but all too often end up requiring the reader to be a confirmed geek to get past even the first chapter. This book is both understandable and insightful, much like an executive summary, complete with plenty of diagrams.

The authors have a big agenda – to empower every business executive with a strategic fix on 10 future-shaping technologies and how they will impact business and their own effectiveness. Techies will also gain from the big-picture approach of this book.
