Richard Nolan, PhD (Boston, MA), is the William Barclay Harding Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School. Nolan warns that the first sign of serious trouble is "dot vertigo," when companies, like pilots, lose sight of their reference points and can't adapt to a changing landscape. Introducing the concept of "permeability," as the number-one indicator of long-term growth and profitability, Nolan shows why it is so important for a company to make the transformation into a completely networked organization. A Harvard Business School professor and an advisor to business leaders such as Cisco and Charles Schwab, Nolan's reputation as a thought leader in high-tech is unparalleled.

A leading expert on managing technology, his ideas and views have been embraced by the technology industry, and he has gained the trust of Wall Street's top performers. In Dot Vertigo, Professor Nolan explores the ways in which both blue chip brick-an
