This is a business book that shows the reader how to look at their businessissues and gain an advantage over their competitors by embracing IBM's OnDemand strategy. On Demand is really just a new way of looking at what ishappening in today's markets due to computer technology and fasterinformation delivery. Companies are leaping over competition by embracingthe technology changes and dealing with their customers and suppliers not in alinear fashion but as a "value space". It is no longer a supply chain. Chainimplies linearity. Instaneous need fulfillment is the answer. Those supplierswho can deliver will gain share and this book talks about the internal personnelissues, management issues and business culture issues necessary to make ithappen.On Demand is now gaining strength and acceptance in the market. You can seeit in the amazing push to grid computing that we are seeing now, theoutsourcing phenomenon, and other issues. It is IBM's theme for theforeseeable future.

John Sculley In the short history of personal computing, the task of the software programmer has been one of the least recognized-but one of the most significant-in the industry. In addition to defining the prob lems, and presenting the solutions, the software programmer is con fronted with the challenge of having to predict what combination of ideas and technologies will move the industry forward in the most compelling way. Even though we've seen the development of tremendous applications in a surprisingly short period of time, the most difficult problems often surface when we try to elevate a suc cessful local idea to the international arena. In the case of Apple Computer, these challenges become especially profound when you consider that Apple sells Macintosh not just in the United States, but in Japan, China, the Middle East, Africa, East ern Europe, and even to the United Nations itself. Of course, this means that the personal computer must work everywhere around the world. But more significantly, it also means that the software must reflect the uniqueness of a given culture, its language, morals, and even its sense of humor. To step away from a narrowly-defined, nationally-based paradigm for software development, programmers, management, and entire corporations must learn to recognize what elements of an interface, problem solving technique, documentation illustration, package de sign, and advertisement are local, and which elements are appro priate for global markets.
