It is amazing that Solis foresaw the need for digitalization strategies and alarmed different companies before the great requirement occurred during and after the pandemic. Today, we observe the future of business as being affected by developments in information, as he portrayed.
The reader of the book gains an awareness of the predicted conditions that made them calm, composed, and in control of their activities during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. One can learn more business and management techniques from this book.
I experienced to achieve organizational heights instead of firm’s losses because of the readiness, and the processes that Solis guided.
More efficient marketing investments and inter-organizational communication were improved faster, leading to normal business as usual.
While he elaborated different frameworks to justify his arguments, there are a lot of scenarios that the business communities are now aware of to validate his principles and recommendations in the book.
Furthermore, readers can learn that the structure, technologies, and infrastructure needed to adapt to the new normal are mandatory.
Business, management, and academic communities should read this book and evaluate the fulfillment and the gaps between the premises. These efforts will drive the implementation and advancements of different digitalization business models to prevail in the new normal.
