Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
According to James Martin, for a corporation to survive tomorrow it will have to do more than simply use cyber technology--it must incorporate "cyber" as part of its very being, making the computerized information lines the very nervous system of the corporate organism. Martin describes his ideas in a breathlessly paced, punchy book where one idea follows another in machine-gun fashion. With each chapter broken into bite-sized, thought-provoking segments, it's a perfect book for busy people--every five-minute reading break will give you new ideas to consider.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Avoid at all costs,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cybercorp: The New Business Revolution (Hardcover)
I have many of Martin's other books and I found this one is not worth reading. It has very flowery language, poor composition and lacks depth in the subject matter.Martin does a disservice to the Internet and to his readers. Bottom line - avoid at all costs. Sorry.

Not very Useful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cybercorp: The New Business Revolution (Hardcover)
Martin provides nothing new here. He talks of the 'Cybercorp, however this is the "virtual organization" of which there exists many other better titles and books available on this subject

1.0 out of 5 stars
Very Disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cybercorp: The New Business Revolution (Hardcover)
After all the hype I'd looked forward to this book. However, it was a real disappointment.When he wasn't contradicting himself he was rewriting sections of his own or other's work. There were no new concepts or ideas in here, nor much about what you were supposed to do with the ones he did suggest. It sort of read like a Tom Peters book, only without the energy, enthusiasm or vision. Bottom line: avoid.
