Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is arguably the most significant tool that marketeers have to push online content. As the hub of the computational engineering fields, SEO encompasses technical, editorial and link-building strategies, and is an integral part of our daily lives. As important as it is ubiquitous, SEO is needed for the development of a brands website and online reputation. When a website is live, one of its priorities is to drive organic traffic towards it, in order to attract visibility. In order to achieve such an aim, many proactive measures must be put in place, advice followed and tips implemented. There should also be an understanding of the holistic connection between a websites HTML sources, content management system and its relationship with external websites too (SEO off-site). There are many different search engines in the world and depending on the international boundary, one web browser usually dominates the landscape. Google features prominently in SEO Management, but this book also goes into detail regarding Baidu SEO (China), Yandex SEO (Russia) and Naver SEO (South Korea). There is also guidance given on how to manage a SEO project.

The frictions that we experience when doing business, and in fact also in society, result from the impact of technology. There is a transition period from 'doing digital' to 'being digital'. This affects every aspect of our lives, both private and professional. Merely observing the changes, reading about conflicts of the old model in relation to the new model, is confusing. The current developments and frictions require more in-depth examination. Insights into these developments will be necessary in order to achieve success. Many more partnerships will develop; organisations will come together and combine forces and borders will disappear. This will lead to the changes from order entry to new digital business ecosystems, or rather from 'doing digital to 'being digital'.In the book, The End of Competition: The Impact of the Network Economy, the author explores the indicators of change, the motives for change, and the changes that are yet to come. Concrete plans provide clarity regarding the steps that can be taken, and they indicate who is already going down that road. This book will cover the similarities and differences in the approach and developments in both the Western and Asian worlds. We are at the beginning of a new age: the age of 'being digital', and closing our eyes to this is to deny ourselves a future.
