Product Description
Based on a widely-publicized multimillion dollar study of over 3000 companies and government agencies, this easy-to-read, non-technical book examines and synthesizes the lessons of leading edge companies grappling with seven revolutionary IT changes. According to the authors, these changes have combined to create an entirely new paradigm for competitive information processing-now and for the future. Fascinating and provocative yet practical, this important book zeros in on changes such as the shift from proprietary to open systems, and stand-alone to integrated software applications. General managers and information managers alike will need to understand all these developments in order to lead the transition to a new way of doing business-and now they can profit from the lessons of actual companies who have succeeded-and failed-in this high stakes game.

5 out of 5 stars The Shift is Real   June 6, 1999
  8 out of 9 found this review helpful

A classic! Frankly, if you're just now buying this book, you've already been swept up by the Paradigm Shift. So why should you buy this book? Because it will help you understand why the shift is happening and what should be done to prepare for it.

You can do nothing to stop the shift no more than you can stop a tidal wave. You can, however, refuse to change your paradigm as some have opted to do. In this case, good information will not erase the effects of a bad strategy.

Written in 1993, the shift Tapscott and Caston writes about is not over-not complete. But this book is complete and lacking nothing.


4 out of 5 stars Good but sometimes dry.   August 24, 1998
  6 out of 6 found this review helpful

One selection from a required reading list for grad. school, initially looked quite interesting but since written in '93 it does not include much Internet technology. This book is rather good with an explanation of Era I and Era II computer technology and how companies need to transition but if you are dealing with present day Internet concepts this book is limited. I would suggest this book as a precursor to any other book which may get into the next Era of computing, dealing specifically with the Internet. Looking for ideas about reengineering an IT department, then this is a good start.


5 out of 5 stars This book explains all about mergers and joint ventures.   December 31, 1997
  4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book was required reading for a recent graduate course I took. The book explains where corporations, businesses, and governments are heading in the second era of computer technology. The explanation of the intergrated enterprise is the best I've ever read. This book will serve as the cornerstone of my future career development.
