The internet is all pervasive. Its influence and power extends even further into every aspect of our private and professional lives. We routinely use it as a source of reference, a medium for discussion, and, increasingly, as a place to conduct business. The “e” in e-business is now so ubiquitous that it is easy to forget that just a matter of years – indeed months – ago, the world looked very different. The business world in particular has been turned upside down by the Net. The world revolution has been used so liberally that its meaning has become devalued. Yet, the reverberations in the world of commerce that have resulted from the Net constitute nothing less than a revolution. Every revolution needs it architects. Without Lenin, Trotsky and others, nothing would have happened in Russia in 1917. Without an intelligentsia and people to take new ideas and make them a reality, nothing changes. So who are the architects of this business revolution?
