The X-economy: Profiting from Instant Commerce - Tapa dura

Today, an unprecedented amount of capital fuels higher levels of innovation and entrepreneurism. Organizations are struggling to acquire survival skills as trade evolves in all dimensions: speed, magnitude, diversity, and intricacy. This is the setting of the new exchange economy. The fate of the market lies in managing the increasing complexity of trade. We need to replace our 18th century views of business to make way for new models of understanding the interactions of the markets. The author of this book writes about the new rules of the new economy - how it opens markets, accelerates innovation, increases efficiency, and creates demand-driven communities of trade.
