Imagine experiencing a sudden, sharp pain in your side. Would you allow your neighbor, who has watched countless episodes of medical dramas, to perform an appendectomy on you? Of course not! You would seek the advice of a medical professional, an expert in their field. This raises the question: why do so many people seek advice from friends, relatives, and colleagues about specialized issues, when these individuals lack the necessary qualifications? Every day, we encounter problems and questions that require expert advice, regardless of our own experience and qualifications.

The Future of Business

Bill Gates, chairman and chief executive officer of Microsoft Corporation, predicts that business will change more in the next ten years than it has in the last fifty. He believes that the 2000s will be about velocity, or how quickly the nature of business will change and how quickly business itself will be transacted.
