Summary: A good start for those who wants to learn what new economy i
Review: The book adresses almost all of the questions that one can wonder about the concept of "new economy". It not only addresses the questions, but also gives strategies for success in this new economy. As you go further in the book, you understand that the concept is not actually new but it is another stage of the continuously changing/improving economic and business world. The most important lesson that I have derived is, understanding the external environment and its dynamics is vital for designing the corporate strategy. Moreover the businessmen must learn that adoption to the new business world is not enough, but being able to adopt to the world that is in a continuous flux is also important. After you read and understand the logic behind this book, you become a good analyst of other different models that are proposed by others.

How do the birds in the sky, the ants in the earth and the fish in the sea communicate with such immediacy? How does the herd turn You will never look at society in exactly the same way again.
