This review is from: 10 Technologies Every Executive Should Know (Paperback)

This book is a great introduction to the latest technologies around. It is written for the non-technical manager and gives a solid grounding in what each area is about. I found the Wireless section particularly useful as I use this everyday in my job. There are 10 chapters and the Must Know section at the end of each. Worth the price in my opinion.

This review is from: 10 Technologies Every Executive Needs to Know (Paperback)

"THIS is not a book that requires the reader to be a geek or techie to understand the concepts and terms mentioned in it. The focus is on 10 technologies that'll shape the future, be it web services, security, grid computing, linux, XML or wireless technologies. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and nanotechnology too figure in this Top 10 list. The writers explain the critical role these technologies play in driving business and how corporates and their clients can benefit from them.

To make the contents intelligible to any business executive, there is a liberal sprinkling of diagrams, charts and summaries in each chapter." -CKB

5.0 out of 5 stars Buzzword Intro for Non-Techies, November 30, 2004

This review is from: 10 Technologies Every Executive Needs to Know (Paperback)

I bought 10 Technologies to help me with my understanding of what's new and emerging. I work in sales so this book provided an excellent introduction to some of the buzzwords I have heard bandied about the office. It is tight, well written and pitched at the right level for a non-techie like me. I would recommend it.
