| Summary: | In industry after industry, corporate America is suddenly feeling the uncomfortable gnaw of Internet anxiety - a stomach-churning mixture of envy, resentment, and increasingly, just plain fear.

This has led to a revolution, and mastering the Net has moved front and centre on corporate America's agenda. The Internet model of doing business, with fewer hard assets, a direct pipeline to customers, and freedom from the hierarchical management structure of most of corporate America, offers a new level of speed and operational efficiency for those who master it, and huge dislocations for those who don't. |
