Boundaries of Enterprise:
The Rise of the Network as The Basis of Competition"

About the Seminar
In this presentation, Dean Hopkins
will explore how technologies now enable companies to redefine where
they begin and end. This gives rise to the concept of creating a
tightly woven network of players that combine to deliver the product or
service to the customer. These new networks, if built correctly, threaten enterprises
that remain isolated with a much more proactive, customer driven, profitable model.
In fact, enterprises have been moving toward this model for some time, but are
now able to make a significant leap forward as many of the technology
barriers have recently fallen.
