The Technological Foundations

Fiona Czerniawska and Gavin Potter

Chapter 2 in Business in a Virtual World, 1998, pp 13-24 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This is book is about building a virtual business, not about the technology that enables you to do so. In fact, we hope we mention computers, the Internet and the other bits and pieces of technological plumbing that you need to process information rather less often than other books of this sort. However, at the same time, we have to recognise that without technology none of this would be possible. Building the virtual business, therefore, inevitably involves understanding something about the technological trends that have underpinned the information revolution, and which are now driving our ability to process and share information ever more quickly, and to see where those trends might lead in the future.
