Title: Alianzas demuestran lo serio de la seguridad: hubo un tiempo en que el tema de seguridad sonaba como a un elemento que era deseable tener en el departamento de TIC de las empresas. Luego se habló de que el tema se iba a poner de moda. Lo cierto es que es una necesidad absoluta y, por tanto, buen nicho de negocio.

Book Description

Microsoft chairman and CEO, Bill Gates, discusses how technology can help run businesses better today and how it will transform the nature of business in the near future.

ìBusiness is going to change more in the next ten years than it has in the last fifty,î Gates states in the bookís introduction. The convergence of digital technologies ñ PCs, e-mail, the Internet and new personal digital devices ñ is already bringing about fundamental, irreversible change.  New digital tools are being adopted more rapidly than the technologies that reshaped the 20th Century ñ television, telephones or even electricity.  This accelerated pace of change requires businesses to adapt and act now.

ìI wrote the book because technology is changing everything,î Gates said.  ìI wanted to give business people and other organizational leaders a roadmap that shows how they can take advantage of the incredible opportunities of the digital age.î At the heart of the new economy, Gates says, is a new way of doing business, using fast, accurate information to plan the right product, deliver unparalleled customer service, empower workers and react to changes in the market place.

According to Gates, success will come to those who create a world-class digital nervous system that allows information to flow through their companies for maximum and constant learning.  A central theme is the empowerment of people from lower-level employees who can use information to lift the nature and quality of their work, to the CEO, who can use better information to drive the companyís strategic direction.  Gates outlines twelve steps that business should take to make certain theyíre getting the most out of their technology investments to get smarter workers, more effective overall corporate performance, and more satisfied customers.

LOS NEGOCIOS EN LA ERA DIGITAL covers three broad areas of business: commerce, business operations and knowledge management.  Each chapter explores a particular question such as, ìHow can I use the Internet to improve customer satisfaction?î Gates then shows how a digital approach can be used to solve the problem or create new opportunities.  Gates uses examples from companies in more than 20 industries, as well as examples from Microsoft involving product development, customer service, marketing, and human resources.  A checklist of business and technical lessons concludes each chapter.

Great tool.......2001-08-21

I was extremely impressed with this book. I am beginning a new job soon and this book will come in handy, especially for the person who had been out of school for a while and needs a refresher. It is easy reading with very good graphs and examples to follow. I am confident this book can help anyone out from the recent graduate to the high ranking executive.

Good, but not for Novices.......2005-04-28

I really enjoyed listening to "Business Planning", but I'm in the middle of writing my third, so I am fairly versed in the subject. I say "but" because, as the Annapolis commuter pointed out, first-time business plan writers would find a print-copy of the book much more useful. But if you're like me, and you want help polishing your existing works, this is a great title.

Not for everyone.......2000-09-20

I purchased this book expecting it to cater to someone beyond University level. However, the contents clearly cater for high school level learning and therefore provided little value to me. If you are looking to strengthen your technical and analytical skills look somewhere else. If you want basic training, give it a try.

Wow- great book.......2000-09-03

This insightful book proved worth its weight in gold. A must read for any entrepreneur looking for serious funding.

WORTH PRAISING.......2006-07-14

THIS HAD BEEN A PRESCRIBED TEXT BOOK FOR STATISTICS IN MY MBA. I REALLY LOVED READING THIS BOOK. ENJOYED SOLVING THE PROBLEMS.
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR ALL STATISTICS STUDENTS AND PROFESSORS TO OWN.

The best part of the book was the curve fitting algorithms.......2003-03-20

Listen Software Solutions: I found the book to be easy to understand and packed with alot of step by step illustrations. Using the samples and easy to follow instructions such as concepts like Least Square Approximation and Multiple Regression Model techniques, I felt comfortable in solving my trend analysis problems. The authors do not overwhelm the reader with advanced mathematical notation but instead provide an learn by example method to their teaching. After each chapter, a number of homework problems are available, for the the student to try. This is a great college textbook to learn business statistics from. I used the textbox to learn how to program MFC VC++ curve fitting alogrithms for a stock trends analysis algorithm. I must say the internet has a ton of material, however, this book provided me the clearest explanations and helped me gain the greatest understanding of my curve fitting solutions.

Great choice for beginner.......2001-10-24

The text is very easy to understand. The case study is great as well as the exercises.

Great book for a business student.......2000-08-24
