Most companies have a sizeable investment in technology but are realising only 20 per cent of its potential benefit. "Business @ the Speed of Thought" introduces the concept of the digital nervous system which unites all systems and processes under one common infrastructure, allowing companies to make quantum leaps in efficiency, growth and profit. Using detailed tours of Microsoft and other major corporations, Gates demonstrates how integrated technology can transform any business by energizing its three major elements: customer/partner relationships, employees and process, and offers practical suggestions on how this can be achieved.

How to Avoid a Climate Disaster

Penguin

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER *&nbsp;In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical--and accessible--plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe. Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide to certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal. He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions--suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise. As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.

Microsoft chairman and CEO, Bill Gates, discusses how technology can help run businesses better today and how it will transform the nature of business in the near future. ìBusiness is going to change more in the next ten years than it has in the last fifty,î Gates states in the bookís introduction. The convergence of digital technologies ñ PCs, e-mail, the Internet and new personal digital devices ñ is already bringing about fundamental, irreversible change. New digital tools are being adopted more rapidly than the technologies that reshaped the 20th Century ñ television, telephones or even electricity. This accelerated pace of change requires businesses to adapt and act now. ìI wrote the book because technology is changing everything,î Gates said. ìI wanted to give business people and other organizational leaders a roadmap that shows how they can take advantage of the incredible opportunities of the digital age.î At the heart of the new economy, Gates says, is a new way of doing business, using fast, accurate information to plan the right product, deliver unparalleled customer service, empower workers and react to changes in the market place. According to Gates, success will come to those who create a world-class digital nervous system that allows information to flow through their companies for maximum and constant learning. A central theme is the empowerment of people from lower-level employees who can use information to lift the nature and quality of their work, to the CEO, who can use better information to drive the companyís strategic direction. Gates outlines twelve steps that business should take to make certain theyíre getting the most out of their technology investments to get smarter workers, more effective overall corporate performance, and more satisfied customers. LOS NEGOCIOS EN LA ERA DIGITAL covers three broad areas of business: commerce, business operations and knowledge management. Each chapter explores a particular question such as, ìHow can I use the Internet to improve customer satisfaction?î Gates then shows how a digital approach can be used to solve the problem or create new opportunities. Gates uses examples from companies in more than 20 industries, as well as examples from Microsoft involving product development, customer service, marketing, and human resources. A checklist of business and technical lessons concludes each chapter.
