"This is a significant work that has both academic and practitioner appeal. In a world that is increasingly connected and global, industries often have conflicted velocities (rates and directions of change) that generate changing opportunities and risks.

The contributions are from researchers and practitioners who, between them, have considerable insight and expertise." -Nigel Slack, Warwick university
