Vision/Articles and Ideas

Articles don't make it as far as white papers, but they treat topics in some depth, while Ideas will take you to more detailed works. Although not as leading edge anymore, the technology underpinnings of and insight within these papers are still very relevant to today's business issues. Some points made during Web 1.0 (the Internet boom) are of, well, museum quality, so I include them for amusement and perspective.

Articles

The "21st Century Drivers" is an initial exploration on the global customer revolution that will preoccupy global enterprises over the next 10-15 years. Web 2.0 functionality and work processes are enabling customers to connect with each other and amplify their message to producers of products and services.

"Technology Investing" is relevant to corporations attempting to apply leading edge technology to their business problems, and it has some ideas for technology companies selling into corporations. It has a high-level methodology for corporate executives to evaluate high tech alliance or investment partners. The "Strategic Approaches" articles compare and contrast business strategy for start-ups with e-business strategy for global enterprises. The "Electronic Communications Revolution" has an interesting perspective on the Internet bust.
