		If Gates' conception of digital business were simply a continuation, even an intensification, of the rhetoric of traditional capitalism that would doom his perspective, and his future business strategies, to the normal ebb and flow of the cycles of capitalism.
		It is the virtual will, moving first at the speed of business and, only later, in its future appearance as unfettered technicity at the speed of light.
		The business model can be hegemonic today as the spearhead of digital reality because in the particular expressions of acquisitive business interests are to be found, in however an imperfect form, the general manifestations of the digital will.

	Bill Gates forgoes the vision thing
		Gates, whose business and technology savvy has turned Microsoft into the most powerful company in the computer industry and one of the most profitable in America, has written a how-to guide for making businesses more efficient.
		Yet despite his somewhat trite assertion that "business is going to change more in the next 10 years than in the last 50," Gates fails to explore business shifts beyond those that are already afoot.
		Yet as a pragmatic look at how to exploit the Internet, "Business @ the Speed of Thought" is no better, although perhaps no worse, than a number of other attempts to explain the digital economy.

		Business at the Speed of Thought is far more than a position paper on his business strategies, nor is it a public relations effort to soften the critics or judiciary overseers.
		Business @ the Speed of Thought illustrates its concepts with detailed case studies of top-notch companies as well as Microsoft in a variety of industries, making the "Digital Nervous System" relevant to a broad and diverse audience.
		Subsequently, Business @ the Speed of Thought goes a long way to increasing vital IT knowledge and skills; and these life-long skills are as important for personal, academic, and professional achievement as traditional academic knowledge and skills such as Math and Science.

		The value of having firms from the business geographics arena involved with CRM initiatives is that we can interpret the likely preferences and behavior of customers or firms around locations.
		Geographic data is particularly voluminous, difficult for the lay person to understand, and a severe roadblock to "business at the speed of thought." If geographic solution providers can knock down that roadblock, the opportunities for entering into the eCRM space will be tremendous.
		If we can move business geographics at "the speed of thought," perhaps we'll emerge with a more substantial chunk of the CRM market.

	Salon.com Technology \| Why Bill Gates still doesn't get the Net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		What's missing from "Business @ the Speed of Thought" is any sense that the Net might be transforming more than just the speed at which information moves from point-of-sale to a vice president's desk -- that it might accelerate social and economic experiments lying far outside the org charts of the Fortune 500.
		If you must read "Business @ the Speed of Thought" today, be warned that its contents are even more stupefyingly bland than those of "The Road Ahead." Though the new book advocates a strategy of opening up inner corporate councils to the flow of information from the street, its language never strays from boardroom gray.
		The closest "Business @ the Speed of Thought" comes to breaking a sweat is when Gates describes Microsoft's Herculean effort to turn its business in the direction of the Internet.

		In fact, in many cases, they'll be able to expand their business because they'll be able to take their unique value-added and go up on the Internet and talk about that and therefore attract in a larger customer base than they could have previously.
		So businesses where people are moving around a lot and they don't have this regular structure that forces them to share information-electronic tools I think are even more valuable in that case.
		So a lot of things that you wouldn't have thought of doing in the past about querying a rich database, about data mining through information, that will just be so easy to do because the flow of information will go across the network in a very rapid way.

		Business at the speed of thought is creating new business risks almost that quickly.
		As we enter the new millennium, financial executives must be alert to changes in business practices and operations that, in turn, are changing the risk profiles of their own companies.
		For example, if someone steals a computer hard drive from a business, it loses the physical property (the hard drive) and could lose intellectual property (the contents of the hard drive) if the criminal has the means to exploit the information on the hard drive.

		So it's hardly a shock that "Business @ the Speed of Thought," Gates' new management-advice book, is a 400-plus-page sales brochure for the wizardry that personal computer technology can work in your corporation.
		"Business @ the Speed of Thought" is packed with examples of how Microsoft has, in industry parlance, "eaten its own dog food" -- used its own technology to build the kind of "digital nervous system" Gates preaches about, routing critical information to the people who can act upon it.
		And "Business @ the Speed of Thought" makes clear that Gates has totally got the Net religion: "If we go out of business," he writes, "It won't be because we're not focused on the Internet.

	The Bush bureaucracy: Definitely NOT "Government at the Speed of Thought"!
		"Business is going to change more in the next ten years than it has in the last 50," stated Gates.
		I thought of the speed and efficiency of Microsoft -- where every employee in the company has access to Bill Gates if they need to tell him when something is going wrong so that it can be fixed IMMEDIATELY.
		Then I thought about George Bush, who listens to no one -- except voices in his head purporting to be God -- and who fires anyone who dares to disagree with him.

		Internal Auditor: The importance of ethics: At a time when companies are conducting business at the speed of thought, it is prudent for internal auditors to keep risk management in their thought process - Risk Watch
		Ethical risks increase and business objectives may fail, not because of specific internal or external threats, but because management's philosophy or operating policy is wrong for the circumstances, there is a low level of commitment to competence, or even because Wall Street doesn't trust management's ability to report financial results.
		If an organization's internal control definition focuses on meeting business objectives and the importance of soft controls, as COSO does, auditors must be sure management understands that that is the case.

		I concur with Gate's conviction that the success of businesses will be a function of how you gather, manage, and use information.
		I do not believe Business @ the Speed of Thought is just a finely tuned marketing campaign, but it may be hard for those who do not favor Microsoft to listen to Gates for the entire length of the book.
