Summary

The Net Future Shock

The Net Future is not just about doing business on the Internet. It has to do with all facets of reaching the customer, from design to production to consumption. Companies who realize this will come out as winners. Companies who don’t, will take huge losses. Also, the Net Future doesn’t just mean you should have a pretty web site. To participate in the Net Future, you need to integrate all phases of your operation and all aspects of your company with use of the Internet.

The issue is the E-business revolution. To succeed, companies need to do five things: Draw and keep consumers. Change product distribution methods. Redefine pricing and eventually change to customer-driven pricing. Reorganize the authority and culture within the company. And, align home and work, realizing that personal and work lives will be brought together.

To be successful in the face of the E-business revolution, be aware of these seven major trends:

  1. "The Cybereconomy Goes Main Street": The new on-line consumer wants faster service than ever before.
  2. "The Wired Workforce Takes Over": The new technology will allow employees to form work communities.
