Wireless Horizon

Book Description

Mobile communications and the wireless web are not just conveniences or curiosities -- they are the harbingers of a fast-approaching sea change in the way information moves. Destined to be as fundamental to business and social interaction as the personal computer or even the telephone, these technologies and the companies that develop them have become the basis for an entirely redefined industry economy.

Wireless Horizon is the first book to chronicle the strategy and competition for leadership in the evolving wireless economy. Featuring an in-depth look at the key drivers of the mobile internet, the author presents the histories, strategies, and technologies of industry giants like Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola, AT&T Wireless, Verizon, NTT DoCoMo, China Telecom, and others.

From the supplier: In 1994 and 1995 freshmen at Duke University participated in a classroom experiment where their notebook computers were linked in a wireless network by diffuse infrared technology. This allowed the students to share their work with the instructor and the other students easily. The goal was to enhance classroom communication. Diffuse infrared networking is beneficial in that unlike other networking capabilities, it can link many computers with greater sensitivity and the need only for the transmitter and receiver to be pointed at the same point in the ceiling. The problem with implementing this system in the classroom is the continued high cost of notebook computers. Schools are not able to purchase enough to cover the students on financial aid. Students also complained of the weight of the notebooks, quick battery drainage and the machines' susceptibility to damage. Diffuse IR technology continues to dwindle in the market despite its reliability and low cost. For this technology to succeed, it must be built directly into notebook computers.

From the supplier: Minnesota State University created a wireless network for its Mankato network under a student-led initiative when the school's Student Technology Committee voted to recommend funding for building a wirelessly connected campus. The students formally stated that they would put their own monies into technology they knew existed on other campuses but had not actually seen and placed great faith in the school's Information Technology Services (ITS) staff. MSU developed a seven-step process model to move to a wireless campus. ITS staff first had to attend technology conferences to educate themselves and contact vendors. Development of a prototype helped enhance the school's knowledge of wireless technology and raised issues about where to obtain good equipment at low prices. The prototype phase was followed by site survey and planning in order to determine the best locations for wireless access points. Another major step was development of an implementation plan. Step six involves gathering funding for administrative areas to cover, and step seven is an assessment of the initiative's effectiveness. MSU selected Lucent Technologies' Orinoco WaveLAN products.

From the supplier: Students at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill are using a sophisticated wireless network to obtain high-speed Internet access, e-mail and access to the campus intranet from many locations. UNC's Cisco Systems Aironet wireless network technology supports a new laptop requirement that will eventually reach 15,000 undergraduates. UNC's computerization move has the biggest scope among US research universities and takes many unique approaches. The university has deployed Cisco Aironet 340 series wireless access points in seven academic buildings as well as libraries, student stores, the student union and the administration building; each has a reach extending to adjacent courtyards and popular student gathering places. Students can buy their own Cisco wireless PC Cards or check them out at the graduate library. The technology facilitates collaboration among students in small groups and can turn virtually any campus location into a learning environment. The wireless network supports a wired network.

Cooking With the Iron Rice Bowl.......2007-03-27

Part reference, part musing, part insightful and timely analysis, George Zhibin Gu's latest book "China and the New World Order: How Entrepreneurship, Globalization, and Borderless Business are Reshaping China and the World" is a welcome and refreshing read among the endless new titles printed on China today.

Picking up on a focus of his previous book "China's Global Reach...," Gu goes further and identifies the chief impediment to China's latest and perhaps most difficult transition as the Chinese state itself. Gu reveals the seemingly historical inevitability of China's vast government apparatus but explains that Communist Party bureaucracy is unique in Chinese experience in the size and scope of its all-encompassing control.

In topics relative to today's readers Gu ably demonstrates through the book that changes in China come from the revived entrepreneurial instinct of the Chinese. Along with huge foreign investment China's ever-growing private sector is the outside influence that is challenging Chinese bureaucracy as never before. But while the Chinese people struggle to create a law-based society and break the bureaucracy's grip on all aspects of economic life, the Chinese state seeks an equal footing among world national powers.

"China and the New World Order" is nicely segmented into short but highly relevant chapters. As in his earlier works Gu deftly examines the pros and cons of numerous hot-button issues on China. For example he takes on the Taiwan - China knot and proposes an interesting solution, a federation or federal system as a means toward meaningful (and mutually beneficial) reunification although his federal system shares more similarity to a commonwealth in the opinion of this reviewer. Gu's look at delicate state of Japan and China relations reveals that Japan remains as apprehensive over Chinese growth and potential as it was in the past. In examining the India versus China debate Gu shows that there is far less competition (as Western press prefers to portray it) and more similarities between the two giants of Asia.

There is plenty of current information here and the detailed contents and summaries make the book a good quick reference for anyone with an interest in what's happening right now in China. And there are goodies such as a lengthy interview with Mark Mobius and a foreword by Hoover Institute fellow William Ratliff.

At one point in his analysis, Gu intriguingly compares the struggle in China to the old European church-state alliance. With that view in mind, what may be needed next and with luck what Chinese entrepreneurs may succeed in bringing is a Chinese "Glorious Revolution."

The most important book I read in the last 5 years.......2006-12-25

This new book from Dr. George Zhibin Gu is a geo-economics and geopolitical masterpiece from an insider, someone that thrives his consulting work and daily life inside China, not writing or comment from a comfortable chair in London or New York paid by a western think tank, or only for academic proposals. His challenge is to write for a broad audience out of China. I must refer his clever suggestions about Taiwan - a political proposal for a a federation - and the way he sees the go global from Chinese emergent multinationals. It is needed a lot of courage for an insider to be so clear in his proposals and to identify the old Chinese problem - bureaucracy, the same that stopped admiral Cheng Ho and the Discoveries in the XV Century, that closed China for so many centuries and gave an opportunity for foreign powers to humiliate China, hyper-bureaucracy that in the Mao period pulled China for chaos and economic and social distress. China and the New World Order is a must reading. Jorge Nascimento Rodrigues, editor of www.gurusonline.tv and translator of Made in China (published in Portuguese language).

Is a new world order in the making?...It might just happen........2006-12-15

Base on the number of book in relation to this matter so far I believe that no one has come close to capturing "new China's" spirit and meaning as Gu. After reading his second volume I found it to be hugely insightful on the current events of China and global affairs. It greatly explores the key factors that shape Chinese and global development in the next stages. It gives tremendous info and analysis on the Chinese government, politics, business and economy for any one's interest.

There's a huge amount of info on foreign businesses inside China. You will be able to see about twenty five American and global multinationals inside of China that are studied. In the meantime it gives us a very provocative analysis on China's new role in the world. Gu details this general picture of how China is walking away from a practical society and embracing an open, restless and dynamic society. It claims that an overextended, self-appointed bureaucracy remains the key problem for China. To overcome countless technical barriers, greater openness, entrepreneurship and global involvement is all needed. Again, it's very insightful on the issues between China, Taiwan, Japan, India and West. I will add that his analyses on Japan-China line up are very interesting as well as Taiwan. There' a tremendous amount of info and analysis on China's financial, banking, insurance and stock market.

Author George Zhibin Gu is a very outspoken and a well known Chinese journalist who has generally covered mergers and acquisitions, capital activities, business expansion, and restructuring. He's an insider who gives us scrupulous examination on current China and global affairs which is more than a reason why you should grab hold to this book.

Insightful and Intelligent.......2006-12-11

George Gu provides a depth of understanding that distinguishes his work from most other business books. His wide network of contacts gives insight into emerging trends. He provides useful context that western authors often lack and Chinese authors frequently take for granted.

Prepare for the Dragon Market - Winston Ma, Author of "Investing in China: New Opportunities in a Transforming Stock Market.......2006-11-07

For the international investor community, "Investing in China" in the new century is more or less a one-way investment and capital flow. Mr. Gu's book, however, looks one step further to explore how all these interactions would reshape the global horizon, both for China and the rest of the world.

In fact, China's outward influence is increasingly obvious. For instance, whether China would diversify its foreign currency reserve -- and consequently whether China will enter into the gold market to hedge its US dollar exposure -- has profound implications in the global financial markets.

Comparing to many other books on China, Mr. Gu's book has a truly "authentic Chinese" flavor. The reason is obvious: He is an INSIDER. As a native Chinese, he captures the spirit of China's latest developments in its not-too-short historic context.

Book Description

Taiwan, once one of the world's leading manufacturing economies, is now transforming into a service economy, with an emphasis on knowledge-based services. This metamorphosis has not been easy. As well as major changes in the industrial sector, human resource and policy development have been required, the experiences and implications of which are addressed in this book.

Although Taiwan is only in the initial stage of transition from a material- or capital-based economy to a knowledge-based economy, the process has already provided valuable lessons to be learnt. The ramification of transformations in manufacturing, agriculture, finance, services, and the information technology industry are examined and discussed.

Tain-Jy Chen and Joseph S. Lee go on to reveal the problems and difficulties that Taiwan has encountered in creating itself a new knowledge based economy, including its outmoded service sector, the inability of businesses to pursue global production and services, and the lack of capacity to create knowledge and to innovate.

Providing a discernible insight into the transformation of one of the most prominent newly industrialized countries into a knowledge-based economy, this book will greatly appeal to academics, researchers, and those with a specific interest in knowledge management or Asian economies, as well as to economic analysts.
