The Value Factor
Description
Praise for The Value Factor
" It's called 'The Information Age' for a reason. Information, even more than capital assets, products, or brands, will be the best source of sustainable competitive advantage. In this book, Nyberg and Hurd have succeeded in outlining a vision and a plan for putting that information to work in ways that drop directly to the bottom line. Better read it if you plan to do any business in the 21st century."
