UK managers failing to grasp consequences of e-business

摘要

Senior managers of UK manufacturing companies are failing to understand the impact new e-business technology will have on their businesses, a report published this week warns. The report, commissioned by Oracle and Cisco Systems and endorsed by the Institute of Directors, shows that over 60% of managers in the sector realise the internet will be important to their business, but most do not understand how it will affect them. This is largely a result of their unwillingness to have technology briefings, according to Guiseppe Rossi, Oracle's director of manufacturing.
