Book Review
Revisiting Negroponte
I KNOW that the book under review, Nicholas Negroponte's Being Digital, was published in 1995 and that, in the context of the blinding rapidity with which developments take place at the cutting edge of information technology, it might as well have been p ublished in the Stone Age.

Working with a market economy
ECONOMISTS are a respectable breed in the parlour of policy making initiatives in government bodies. In fact, economists are making useful contributions not only by helping solve problems but by pointing out to problems that need to be tackled in the imm ediate future. The role of economists today is not of data-dispensation but also more of development programming.

Power of Performance Management
THERE is a growing conviction among senior corporate financial managers that traditional business planning and performance management methods are flawed and insufficient for keeping competitive in today's technology-driven information age. This book prov ides the framework necessary to develop a strategic performance management process for creating world-class value by examining the practices and case studies of world-class corporations.
