It has indeed been a rewarding experience to have read this book. It very immaculately reintroduces us to concepts that we have always been aware of, but usually set aside for consideration later, in the prioritization between “the Urgent and Important.” It is a book that makes one pause and wonder how so much got left to chance! It brings out very articulately the fact that, integrating technology with business is the basic mantra toward building profitable, sustainable, and long-lasting corporations.
