  2. Technology's Future The closest historical precedent for what's happening now is the PC revolution of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Before the PC, computers were the province of technical druids in giant corporations and government offices. Then with Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL )'s Macintosh and IBM's PC, the tech industry underwent a huge market-expanding shift. Computers began to show up on the desktops of everyone from schoolchildren to small-business owners. The result was seismic change. Microsoft, Intel, and Dell became the new leaders, while dinosaurs like Digital Equipment became extinct. Now, with rapid diffusion of technology into emerging economies, the industry is again reaching a huge new audience. And a new generation of companies will try to knock the leaders of their perch.

  3. The challenges of succeeding in emerging markets are forcing the Western powers to come up with bold new strategies. "The pattern in the past was to sell the same stuff to the same kind of customers. But that won't work, and it has to change. What's required is a fundamental rethinking of how to design products and make money." C.K. Prahalad (2004)

  5. It may turn out that patience is the most important attribute for tech companies trying to get things going in emerging markets. IBM, after all, has been in Brazil for 87 years. Hewlett-Packard has spent three years establishing pilot programs in India and South Africa, and, finally, they're starting to yield products and to improve the lives of the locals.

  6. The IES survey found there is no universal ‘best way’ to take advantage of remote eWork opportunities. Solutions depend on a range of variables, including the type of function involved, whether the move is part of a rationalisation or a growth strategy, and the local culture and tradition of work organisation. Scandinavian employers tend to prefer trust-based solutions, involving employees working at a distance. In Southern Europe, the strong tradition of informal networking makes an eOutsourcing solution the favourite option. In Central and Eastern Europe, eWork can be seen as part of the catch-up process by which transitional economies find their place in global markets.
