Bill Gates reveals how expanding technology is propelling the business world into an exciting new economic era ... how every manager can - and must - stay ahead of the curve ... and how integrated information systems can help every organization achieve Business @ The Speed of Thought. As Gates explains, you're probably viewing hardware and software as a way to solve specific problems. But like a living organism, an organization functions best if it can rely on a nervous system that will instantaneously deliver information to the parts that need it. In clear, nontechnical language, Business @ The Speed of Thought shows you how a digital nervous system can unite all systems and processes under one common infrastructure, releasing rivers of information and allowing your company to make quantum leaps in efficiency, growth, and profits.

Examines the dichotomy between the legitimacy of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Taxes according to International Commercial Law, and its effectiveness, focusing on the textiles industry then generalizing to world trade in general. Finds the underlying contradiction to be between the goals of the nation members when they excluded textiles from the agreement in the 1960s and the legal framework they created to pursue those goals. Edited and translated from a 1995 doctoral thesis for Universitat Autnoma de Barcelona. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
