Asia is an exciting and growing market and the Internet is makihng a significant impact on the pace and scale of its growth. Cisco Net Impact presents many rich regional examples of organizations that are leading the way today, combining Internet solutions with business transformation to gain competitive advantage. John Morgridge Chairman of the Board Cisco Systems The engine of the global economy has shifted from North America and Europe to Asia. If you want an amazing glimpse of how information technology is fueling this engine read Cisco Net Impact. The book is rich with information and insights regarding how companies in Asia Pacific are growing and gaining competitive advantage from applying information technology to their businesses. Don Tapscott CEO New Paradigm Best-selling business author, most recently The Naked Corporation. Cisco Net Impact is an excellent rendition of the impact that the Internet and Net technologies are having in different parts of Asia. The benefits in reducing cost, improving productivity, reducing cycle time, improving transparency and generating revenues are very well highlighted. This book should inspire decision-makers and government leaders in Asia to redouble their efforts in disseminating Net technology, and improving the incomes and lives of their customers, employees and citizens. Nandan M. Nilekani CEO Infosys The Internet provides a great opportunity for China to sustain its two-decade long fast-growing economy. We have seen that the Internet has made the Chinese government more transparent, Chinese companies more competitive in global markets, and Chinese people more closely linked. There are still great potentials for China to explore further. Surely, Pelling's book Cisco Net Impact will make China rethink and reform its Internet-related policies and learn more from its Asian neighbors. Weiying Zhang Professor and Executive Associate Dean Guanghua School of Management, Peking University Very sane and people-focused, the book makes it amply clear that the move towards adopting the Internet is not just a matter of technology but should be seen as part of change management...There is no surfeit of data, which is very well-woven to amplify the case studies... On the whole, I believe business readers will find the examples with regional nuances immensely useful, while providing insights to the business potential of the Internet. S. Ramadorai CEO Tata Consultancy Services We are a strong advocate of Internet technology. Cisco Net Impact shows how e-enablement success constitutes one the key organizational transformation strategies which has helped CTM and others in Asia sustain themselves as market leaders and service providers of choice for customers. David Kay CEO CTM Cathay Pacific continues to be very optimistic about the potential of the Interenet, and e-commerce in particular, in the Asian region. I applaud Cisco's efforts in Net Impact to reveal the insights and demystify the secrets of corporate Internet success in Asia. CathayPacific
