Today, an unprecedented amount of capital fuels higher levels of innovation and entrepreneurism. Organizations are struggling to acquire survival skills as trade evolves in all dimensions: speed, magnitude, diversity, and intricacy. This is the setting of the new exchange economy.
THE X-ECONOMY is the exchange economy of the future. The twenty-first century promises an onslaught of innovation. Its markets will be an exhilarating frontier of instantaneous evolution and unprecedented opportunity. The brick-and-mortar mentalities of the past will no longer ensure success. At the current rate of increase, nearly all business transactions will be electronic in just four years. That is how much time businesses have to incorporate the essential framework of the X-economy into their organizational strategies. Understanding of the modern X-economy today is vital for survival in the turbulent new tomorrow.
In this enlightening and visionary book, Thomas Koulopoulos, president and founder of the Delphi Group, clearly and concisely explains the ground rules of the new exchange economy. Koulopoulos and Palmer studied six hundred companies in various stages of business transformation and concluded that their experiences, attitudes, and competitive strategies point the way to entirely new models for business. He broke down these complex models into a simple outline of five easy to understand guidelines that define the very heart of the X-economy. Koulopoulos then provides executives with the practical tools necessary to devise new objectives and implement new organizational strategies.
