Publisher Description: Manager in allen Branchen werden mit dem Thema neue, zukunftsweisende Technologien konfrontiert. Hierher gehören nicht nur elektronische Technologien, sondern jede neue Technologie, die in der Lage ist, neue Industriezweige zu schaffen oder bestehende zu verändern. Diese Technologien sind ein neues Spiel, dessen Regeln unvereinbar sind mit Kultur und Geschäftsmethoden der meisten etablierten Unternehmen. Das erste Buch auf dem Markt, das sich mit diesem wichtigen Thema gezielt auseinandersetzt. Ein interdisziplinäres Expertenteam der Wharton School erläutert, wie Geschäftspraktiken geändert werden müssen, um Innovationen wie der Biotechnologie, der Informationstechnologie und dem Internet zu begegnen. Darüber hinaus wird diskutiert, wie Manager ihre Methoden zur Finanzanalyse, Markteinschätzung und zur Wettbewerbsstrategie ändern müssen, und wie etablierte Firmen künftig die gängigen Fehler im Zusammenhang mit neuen Technologien vermeiden können. |
