    Dear MG-ED-DV folks - Got a hold of another excerpt that I thought folks
    might enjoy reading, somewhat along the same lines as the last one I posted
    about; hope some of the list members find it interesting, at least...

    ---
    I have permission from John Wiley & Sons to distribute an excerpt from the
    new book, "Wisdom of the CEO," by G. William Dauphinais, Grady Means and
    Colin Price. 29 senior executives from leading companies like Ford, Texaco
    and Sony, were asked to impart their knowledge on pressing business topics
    like Shareholder Value, Disruptive Technology and Globalization for the
    first part of 21st century -- what the authors have termed, "The Age of
    Acceleration."

    The excerpt I'm distributing is an essay by James J. Schiro, CEO of
    PricewaterhouseCoopers, about E-Business. The Internet has turned the model
    of market power completely upside down, according to Schiro. Where
    consumers were once the bottom-feeders, they now sit at the top of the
    pyramid. Schiro examines the media's impact on the phenomenon and offers
    advice on how to manage marketing power in this new paradigm.

    To get the excerpt, send mailto:excerpt@tenagra.com with the subject line,
    "Send CEO" and I will email you a text file. (And only a text file, no
    further solicitations for services will be sent.) Thank you.
