Abstract:
How will e-commerce and e-consumers interact in 2020? What will the relationship between man and machine, man and information, and information and machine mean for future generations? This wide-ranging collection assembles an elite group of 17 business and academic leaders to answer these and many other fascinating, strategically critical questions. The original essays they provide are as provocative and as powerful as the topics they discuss.
