Leadership readiness for virtual business
Organizational leadership in the virtual firm is fundamentally different than leadership in an Industrial-Era firm.

Today we seek to improve the flow of intelligence: intelligence on supply chain, customer satisfaction, distribution, research and development, and other processes. Business processes and how they interplay are at the core of the virtual business.
