Synopsis
Bill Gates draws on his own experiences as chairman of Microsoft and offers his best insights into how companies can become successful. He advocates that companies develop what he calls "digital nervous systems"--a way of using computers to maximize the flow of information for profit, and provides examples from companies he thinks have done things well (and not so well).

Publisher's Note
In his new book, Microsoft chairman and CEO Bill Gates discusses how technology can help run businesses better today and how it will transform the nature of business in the near future. Gates stresses the need for managers to view technology not as overhead but as a strategic asset, and offers detailed examples from Microsoft, GM, Dell, and many other successful companies.

Industry reviews
"['Business @ The Speed of Thought'] is a treatise on a favorite theme, the notion that just about every corporate problem can be helped if not solved with the right hardware and software, or 'digital infrastructure.'"
New York Times - Joel Brinkley (03/22/1999)

"The general reader will find BUSINESS @ THE SPEED OF THOUGHT about as interesting as stripping wallpaper. But for CEOs and other executives, it is a clear richly detailed guide to the fast-emerging E-business age."
Business Week - Steve Hamm (04/05/1999)
