In his Comdex keynote, CEO Chambers offers businesses keys to success in the Internet economy. He said that the Internet is changing the competitive landscape of every business, from daycare centers to tire manufacturers, and that companies need to adapt.
Chambers knows a thing or two about growing a company.
One of the factors behind the U.S. economy's strength is the way businesses are applying technology, said Chambers. That figure is up from 10 to 20 percent in the 1970s. Chambers also echoed Bill Gates' Comdex keynote when he said that 600,000 small businesses will be connected to the Internet by the year 2000. But Chambers said that what businesses considered advantages five years ago are now fundamentally different because of the complex and powerful Internet. He also predicted that Internet commerce will soar.
