Notas do Editor
- Take about what accountants do with IT. Dicuss some models for understanding IT adoption. Make some easy choices.
- This is a good thing.Giving you tools to think about your IT choices.
- Beware the danger of dimensionless graphs.All the bad news is on the left. Lots of hype, small amounts of adoption. Very early failures. To wit Java 1.0.
- The peak is where to sell overpriced companies. E.g. Groupon, MySpace.Also not dimensioned the same for all products. Even for a supposed success like iPod we are talking 5 years. Real technology adoption periods are more like 5-10 years.
- Instead of ignore new technology. Think : what is its difference vector/utility function? How is it meant to be better.The saturation of utility.
- Trends you should care about. Are climbing up the plateau of productivity.
- Who is going to be the first accountancy aggregator?On of the previous companies will let you do this soon
