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.
