Summary: A BOLD & IMAGINATIVE VISION OF A VIRTUAL CORNUCOPIA.
Comment: Presents a vision of the future in which fewer people and plants are needed to satisfy demand, bringing vast changes to work and lifestyles. Beyond their "wild card" predictions, the authors also provide guidelines for those who want to be winners in the future. This is a stimulating and very interesting book. Forecasting that the 2020 manufacturing facility will be a twenty-four-by-seven capable operation with superbly qualified, lean staffs, - that teleconferencing and portable manufacturing combined with aligned customers and suppliers and well documented process controls, will make producing things incredibly simple-present some potent, transformational implications for society and work. But, glib forecasts aside, there is no mention of societal challenges in terms of work. We looked for the terms work, careers or jobs in the index and found none...except for Jobs, Steve. The is a A BOLD & IMAGINATIVE VISION OF A VIRTUAL CORNUCOPIA. Recommended. Reviewed by Gerry Stern and Yvette Borcia, founders, Stern & Associates and HR Knowledge Network, authors of Stern's Sourcefinder: The Master Directory to HR and Business Management Information & Resources, Stern's CyberSpace SourceFinder, and Stern's Compensation and Benefits.

Summary: Packed With Knowledge!
Comment: Patricia A. Moody and Richard E. Morley take a fascinating trip into the future, the not-too distant future, by exploring what manufacturing and product delivery to consumers will look like in the year 2020. By discussing past and current advances, the authors articulately present convincing arguments for their ideas with great zest. Don't worry, you won't find impenetrable technological prose here, quite the contrary. Instead, you'll find visions of point-of-consumption manufacturing, small work groups made up of people who live near their job sites and biotechnology that enables customized creation of replacement body parts. Gene Bylinsky of Fortune magazine calls this well-received volume, "a beautifully written, insightful and important new book... your best guide to success" in the 21st century. We at getAbstract recommend this book to forward-looking managers who understand that, even in the complex future, the main rule will be: Keep it simple.

Summary: When Dick Morley speaks, listen
Comment: The fact is, if you're in manufacturing, when Dick Morley speaks, you have to listen. He's got a sharp mind and an unusual style, but more gems come out of his mouth than anyone else in the industry. The Technology Machine's view into the future is well worth the read, by managers and technologists, alike. I'm hoping for a follow on that takes an even more in-depth look at some of the technology and how it will play out in the next decade or two.
