Book Description

July 1, 2005
Asia is an exciting and growing market and the Internet is makihng a significant impact on the pace and scale of its growth. Cisco Net Impact presents many rich regional examples of organizations that are leading the way today, combining Internet solutions with business transformation to gain competitive advantage.
John Morgridge
Chairman of the Board
Cisco Systems

The engine of the global economy has shifted from North America and Europe to Asia. If you want an amazing glimpse of how information technology is fueling this engine read Cisco Net Impact. The book is rich with information and insights regarding how companies in Asia Pacific are growing and gaining competitive advantage from applying information technology to their businesses. Don Tapscott
CEO New Paradigm
Best-selling business author, most recently The Naked Corporation.

Cisco Net Impact is an excellent rendition of the impact that the Internet and Net technologies are having in different parts of Asia. The benefits in reducing cost, improving productivity, reducing cycle time, improving transparency and generating revenues are very well highlighted. This book should inspire decision-makers and government leaders in Asia to redouble their efforts in disseminating Net technology, and improving the incomes and lives of their customers, employees and citizens.
Nandan M. Nilekani
CEO
Infosys

The Internet provides a great opportunity for China to sustain its two-decade long fast-growing economy. We have seen that the Internet has made the Chinese government more transparent, Chinese companies more competitive in global markets, and Chinese people more closely linked. There are still great potentials for China to explore further. Surely, Pelling's book Cisco Net Impact will make China rethink and reform its Internet-related policies and learn more from its Asian neighbors.
Weiying Zhang
Professor and Executive Associate Dean
Guanghua School of Management, Peking University

Very sane and people-focused, the book makes it amply clear that the move towards adopting the Internet is not just a matter of technology but should be seen as part of change management...There is no surfeit of data, which is very well-woven to amplify the case studies... On the whole, I believe business readers will find the examples with regional nuances immensely useful, while providing insights to the business potential of the Internet.
S. Ramadorai
CEO
Tata Consultancy Services

We are a strong advocate of Internet technology. Cisco Net Impact shows how e-enablement success constitutes one the key organizational transformation strategies which has helped CTM and others in Asia sustain themselves as market leaders and service providers of choice for customers.
David Kay
CEO
CTM

Cathay Pacific continues to be very optimistic about the potential of the Interenet, and e-commerce in particular, in the Asian region. I applaud Cisco's efforts in Net Impact to reveal the insights and demystify the secrets of corporate Internet success in Asia.

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

As the global economy embarks on the new business cycle, Greg Pelling’s brand-new book, Cisco Net Impact: Competitive Advantage from Internet Innovators in Asia Pacific and Japan, is a must-read for regional business leaders.

A timely sequel to Cisco Systems, Inc.’s highly acclaimed book, Net Readiness, this book answers many questions on how to achieve visible benefits from the Internet and how to use it to manage organizations in Asia Pacific.

The book has an arresting set of Asia examples that squarely link growth with productivity, and demonstrates how the Internet delivers real productivity gains to any company or organization that takes a close and practical look at its business and the Internet. 

Key features of the book include:

  • Economic impact of the Internet and projected investments in major Asian economies
  • How the Internet is being used to manage the future of Asia’s top companies and governments
  • Asian business and government examples, perspectives and opinions of Internet successes 
  • Achieving strategic benefits from the Internet and applying the local lessons learned.

The different country perspectives are all linked by a common thread, the Internet, with valuable insights from the contributing authors from Cisco Systems’ Internet Business Solutions Group (IBSG) in Asia Pacific and Japan.

Cisco Net Impact is an indispensable guide to the next generation of regional Internet business leaders.
