What makes e-business tick? - 2001

Knowledge may be power, but power is not always built on knowledge. The rapid growth of e-business has made boardrooms talk about investing in intellectual capital, the European Union pays lip service to the idea and national governments follow suit. But is it possible that business is ignoring the biggest irony of all; that we are bulding a knowledge economy without the knowledge to do it properly? A two-year research project involving 2000 companies is begining to suggest some answers about the complex relationship between IT flair and the hard realities of strategic planning
