The Secrets of Tuned in Leaders: How Technology Company CEOs Create Success (and Why Most Fail) 2008-07-07 Pragmatic Marketing

Indeed, SOA is one of the bright lights of contemporary business strategy and, some would suggest, the inevitable technological outcome of our global, Web-centric world. Some have gone so far as to call SOA a revolution, not just in technology but in how one thinks about business infrastructure.
