Strategies to Realign-and
Win-in Today's E-Business Battlefield
Traditional global industrial
powers-built on a base of tremendous physical capital and manufacturing strength-must
today face a stunning reality: the fast, lean e-business world may pass them by. Today's
business-to-business e-business revolution, in which companies increasingly rely on brand
ownership as they outsource physical capital activities, requires a dramatically different
business process model with entirely new definitions of business processes.
MetaCapitalism: The
E-Business Revolution and the Design of 21st-Century Companies and Markets is the first
book to outline the adaptations and innovations required to thrive in the new world of
e-business. Original in thought and powerful in argument, MetaCapitalism draws on the
combined expertise of two leading business strategists and the unmatched resources of
PricewaterhouseCoopers to define this fundamentally changed environment and explain how
managers can and must move-and move quickly-to reformulate their companies for
success.
Tremendous knowledge,
imagination, and insight-not to mention a small degree of faith-will be required to
enter and succeed in this new world. Step inside MetaCapitalism: The E-Business Revolution
and the Design of 21st-Century Companies and Markets to discover the fascinating and
highly profitable rules, strategies, and practices of tomorrow's e-business-from the
leaders who are writing the rulebook today.
