Asia's largest companies are reinventing themselves as e-businesses. Without the right mindset, the technological know-how and a genuine willingness to adapt, a lot of Asian companies could get into trouble. E-Business Is a State of Mind. Merely launching a website won't do. Unless companies are ready to fundamentally rethink their business, cyberspace will be little more than a cyber void.
Timing Is Everything.
Never underestimate the importance of speed in the dotcom world. While a comprehensive business strategy is essential, companies must also have the flexibility to adapt to the faster pace of transactions. If companies can't reconfigure their strategies fast enough, they will lose out. No Longer Cut It. Traditional businesses revolve around meetings and memos, a formula for disaster in e-business.
