Summary

In Get a (Digital) Life, Internet experts Jim Carroll and Rick Broadhead bring their level-headed analysis to bear on the state of e-biz today and the skills and strategies that will separate winners from disappointed dreamers. With surgical precision, they debunk the myths that have prevented companies from successfully using the Internet to their advantage, and point the way to the real e-biz opportunities -- in practical, cost-saving applications that herald a new era of electronic transactions and seamless customer-care management. The much-vaunted paperless office isn't here yet, but it's on its way! Jim and Rick also interviewed numerous executives about what it takes to be a good knowledge worker and where the real opportunities can be found. What they discovered will both surprise and inspire you, whether you're doing the hiring or taking a fresh look at your own career. Get a (Digital) Life is a book for the here and now, but behind all its practical advice is this prevailing message: keep the faith, because the best is yet to come! Book jacket.
