Competing with Information
Unleashing Corporate
Knowledge for Competitive
Don
Marchand
Explore how information can be used as a competitive tool throughout a company with the
guidance of one of Europe's premier executive business schools
Every
year nearly 4,000 executives attend one of the twenty-one Executive Development Programs
or tailored Partnership Programs offered by the International Institute of Management
Development, ranked as one of the most eminent business schools by Businessweek and
US News & World Report. These programs force attendees to develop personal
competencies and abandon outmoded procedures that may be established in their companies.
Encompassing the ethos, structure, and core values of this program, this book shows why
companies that compete well with information are in a strong market position. It focuses
on how information management can create real business value in four ways: minimizing
risk, reducing costs, delighting customers, and creating a new reality. It details the
what, why, and how of information management and looks at the four-net strategies:
Internet, Intranet, Extranet, and the industry net.
