Thought for the week

The Economist has a "Thinker's guide to internet economics" (April 1st - 7th, 2000, p77-79). Worth a thought?

The Economist also has some thought provoking summaries of Business in Europe (April 29th - May 5th 2000, after page 68) and America's Wireless Wave (same issue page 77). The week before there's a special piece on Business Ethics: Doing well by doing good.The Economist (April 22nd -28th, 2000, page 83)

Other thoughts (to be archived on 31 May 2000)

A letter in the Computer Bulletin, March 2000, p5, points out that the Department of Trade and Industry in the UK has an International Secondments Service "... which supports secondments to any country for 3 to 12 months, to help companies learn best practice and develop overseas links".
