Description 
In early 1999, Langdon Morris undertook a study of the design of R&D facilities. After a thorough review of the literature and visits to 9 leading-edge R&D facilities, Morris prepared this landmark White Paper. Among the key insights is the widespread belief in the importance of high quality, face-to-face interactions between researchers. Thus, among the 9 facilities presented in this report, a total of more than 70 different architectural design and organizational techniques were applied by many of the leading design firms in the country. The report includes a description of each facility as well as the complete inventory of techniques applied.

Book Description 
The number of Internet users is doubling every year, and will soon total more than 100 million people. This group will constitute an enormous and attractive market segment, one with exceptional buying power and demonstrated acceptance of new products and new technologies. However, many people use this new medium primarily for social dialog, which gives the Internet a dual role and a unique character that is unlike any medium or marketplace that has existed before. As it matures, therefore, the Internet poses unique challenges to old ways of ding business even as it promises to have enduring impact on the way that business is conducted worldwide.
