eBusiness The Hope, the Hype, the Power, The Pain  (copyright 1999,2000,2001, 2002 - J. M. Wilson)

A revolution led by entrepreneurship in information technology and radical innovation in established corporations has led to an Internet Tsunami that has over turned the old business models and created the world's largest (legal) creation of wealth ever!  Unfortunately the euphoria of the boom was soon replaced by the despair of the bust as a "perfect storm" overtook the world economy.  An economic decline driven by a return to traditional valuation and the collapse of the internet bubble was compounded by the events of September 11 and the ensuing war.  The Internet Tsunami will continue to roll forward for several decades, but it has already left in its wake upended enterprises, smashed assumptions,  instant millionaires (billionaires?), destroyed careers, overheated securities markets, radically altered Dow indices, and unheard of consumer behavior.  

We have seen the hope, the hype, and the power and then experienced the pain.  For some, the Internet Tsunami seems over.  We doubt that.

It "ain't over till the fat lady sings," and she is not even entering the hall as yet.
