Description
WHY 2K? identifies why, when & how the Y2K problem evolved, diffused & is being resolved by business enterprises, government agencies & nations around the world. It is the first to give you the strategic overview for comparing how your enterprise is responding to the problem. It provides a chronology & analysis of numerous events by enterprises & government authorities, especially in the US & Singapore, to discern the evolution of the Y2K problem solution as well as its diffusion. It includes examples & bibilographic references of when & how enterprises are addressing the Y2K problem & how the activities have led to international cooperation & collaboration among government officials, legislators, association leaders, managers & competitors. These entities are sharing resources & working together to support the resolution of the problem & ensure public safety. Their activities have resulted in a diversity of responses to the Y2K problem, community of Y2K specialists, new knowledge about the problem & social interaction & networking. As a result of these activities, the Y2K problem area has evolved into three periods. A fourth period commencing on the 1st January 2000 will demonstrate further global extent of the problem. Why 2K? provides an example of the application of knowledge-based skills for analyzing virtual communities & the diffusion of an innovation as it is occurring. Also, it highlights how enterprises are using electronic markets to increase membership loyalty & revenue by offering high quality Y2K information, fee-based discussion forum, advertisement, research & transaction.
