Harvard Business School Working Knowledge
It was bound to happen. Companies are beginning to migrate from tethered PC-centric business models toward mobile person-centric models. Ravi Kalakota and Marcia Robinson (CEO and president of e-Business Strategies, respectively) have collaborated on a book to help consumers, managers, content providers, and wireless application service providers (WASPs) ease the transition. Using case studies and strategies of the mobile pioneers, M-Business illustrates how to ensure your organization's place in this emerging reality. According to the authors, for better or worse, we all will be able to carry our work with us everywhere we go. With this blueprint of the M business world to come, we can at least be prepared.
