"Just when you thought your business or your employer were safe, along came the Internet. If you happen to believe your company or your job is immune to the tumultuous forces of the Internet, think again. This book explains how the Internet will cause as much havoc and change to organizations in the twenty-first century as cobblestones and barricades did in a bygone age."
