But contrary to popular belief, the Digital Revolution is opening up more, not fewer, areas for companies to serve customer needs profitably. The New Invisible Hand presents a framework for thriving in this new digital world. The book highlights fiive technological revolutions (reintermediation, monetization, transparency, channel, and data) that are shaping markets, industries, and individual companies. With the right framework, companies can take advantage of new opportunities and react to competitive threats.
