The blind tour guide : surviving and prospering in the new economy / Patrick Lambe

Information About

In this book, Lambe explores the impact of technological change on business and working life, providing a frontline view of the day-today changes that accompany one of the most incredible transformations of society in the world today - the much debated new economy. Though the book's context and perspective is Singaporean, the issues discussed are global ones. Along the way he makes brief forays into history to display the older resonances with how humankind has adapted to technological change in the past, and to draw pointers for how organizations can continue to learn, innovate and manage risk in the connected economy.
