The impact of Internet on business
• Andy Grove, Chairman of Intel, one of the
early adopters of e-commerce, has made a
meteorological analogy with the Internet. He
says:
• Is the Internet a typhoon force, a ten times
force, or is it a bit of wind? Or is it a force that
fundamentally alters our business? (Grove,
1996)
