Gates, III
"As a business manager, you need to take a hard look at your core competencies.
Revisit the areas of your company that aren't directly involved in those competencies, and consider whether Web technologies
can enable you to spin off those tasks. Let another company take over the management responsibilities for that work, and use
modern communications technology to work closely with the people -- now partners instead of employees -- doing the work. In
the Web work style, you can push the freedom the Web provides to its limits."
