Engines of Prosperity provides a provocative view of how the global business landscaping is changing. This terrain, once the purview of U.S. enterprises, is rapidly evolving in new directions that involve unfamiliar operation structures and principals.

This work highlights how successful businesses in the next century MUST be different and how knowledge can become their lifeblood.

Marvin L. Patterson, President, Innovation Resultants International, Los Altos, CA

"Engines of Prosperity" is a startling book. With a few punchy, key themes, it paints a whole new paradigm. Suddenly, making money in the Information Age makes sense.

The book gives a new perspective that sees the forest made from the trees. Beginning with the title, it challenges the reader to ponder first the right questions, and then look for his particular answers.

The given broad answers are a context for the particular answers. The actions of modern technology leaders are then analyzed, and the successes and failures seem self evident.

Most satisfying is the uninterrupted transition from theory (economics), to policy (e.g. patent laws), to practice (business). The reader is engaged in a lively, readable journey across disciplines without missing a step.

I like this book a lot. It is truly a breakthrough work.

Not only does it show how to build prosperous businesses, it also provides guidance for improving the quality of personal life and even society.

Engines of Prosperity is an unusual business book. What's it about?

It's about life!

Timothy P. Teich President Advanced Input Devices Coeur d'Alene, ID

As mankind sits on the cusp between the Industrial Age and the Information Age, we must rethink almost all aspects of society and business.

Ungson and Trudel provide an insightful analysis of successful techniques for building sustainable engines to drive Information Age Business.

This new book, Engines of Prosperity, can best be described in one word -- PHENOMENAL!!!

Charles W. Olsen, President and CEO, ARCS International, Inc.

A must for those that want the real world painted for them. It has the top down view of the drivers and isssues that have to be confronted in a modern technology driven world. Well worth the money and a very useful reference book.
