Summary: "This is an in-depth analysis of the often turbulent, increasingly profitable confluence of business, the Internet and the law for business leaders who are seeking to strike a balance between the explosive shift in technology and the laws that govern it. How quick is the law responding to business concerns in the digital economy? How are businesses coping with the digital age? What are the tensions imposed on the rule of law? These issues and more are tackled by comparing existing law to the new technologies and new forms of business spawned by the information revolution. Technology and business are dynamic; like two intermeshed gears in a mechanical transmission, the speed of change in one engages and its institutions adapt slowly and this creates a dilemma. As a thoughtful perspective on how to manage expectations in the digital environment of the 21st century, this timely work ahould have a place in every business and law firm that aims for success in the global economy." - Back cover.
