The Geek Gap

Pfleging, a computer and Web consultant, and Zetlin, a business writer, note how business and technology professionals can work together successfully, with the key being communication. They provide a short history of the problem between ＂geeks＂ and ＂suits,＂ describe the rise of technology workers, and discuss the dot-com bust. Differences between business and technology professionals are enumerated, as well as problems each has with the other. Other chapters cover cybercrime, work style differences, outsourcing, and examples of successful and unsuccessful companies. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
