Mia de Kuijper presents compelling ideas about the role of today's more complete, immediate, and very cheap information ... and how it still does not lead to perfect markets. Her discussion of what makes companies successful in the long run is sure to cause controversy. * Arie de Geus, Former Corporate Planning Director, Royal Dutch Shell, author of The Living Company *
