By Peg Neuhauser, Ray Bender and Kirk Strömberg
John Wiley & Sons; 2000
We are living in a .com world. The
old rules are changing, but it is not yet
clear what the new rules are. Every
thing is in flux, and the speed and
complexity o f the changes are diffi

tell us the transition to a networked
economy is the biggest shift in the
way the world functions since the
Industrial Revolution. The people
working today are the bridge genera
tion, spanning the gap between the
old and new ways o f doing business.
Culture.com is a highly practical
guide to the pressing corporate cul
ture issues that face every e-busi
ness, from .com start-ups to tradi
tional organizations making the tran
sition into the clicks-and-m ortar
world.
