| Summary |
"The Invisible Continent offers insight for individuals and companies seeking success in the twenty-first century. Kenichi Ohmae looks ahead to the future of business in the age of the Internet and sees a rapidly changing landscape - one to which we must adapt or face the consequences. Ohmae unveils this new economy's four basic forces - the visible, invisible, cyber, and high multiple dimensions - and shows how a dramatic and volatile battleground is forming between companies and the countries that try to regulate them."--Jacket. |
