Ziel dieses Buches ist es, Unternehmen eine radikalere Denkweise nahezubringen, wenn sie im 21. Jahrhundert überleben wollen. Die Geschäftswelt hat sich in den vergangenen 20 Jahren drastisch verändert. Für die kommenden 5 Jahre sagt der Autor einen noch rapideren Wandel von vergleichbarem Ausmaß voraus, wobei sich eine völlig neue Industriestruktur herausbilden wird. Das Buch analysiert, wie diese Veränderungen sich auf zukünftige Entwicklungen und unser Leben auswirken. Der Autor behandelt das Thema so, als ob seine Vorhersagen schon eingetroffen seien, daher auch der Titel 'The History of the Future'. (TIS)
