In his writing, Davis addresses how e-commerce changes business models, risk as opportunity, developing human capital markets, and transforming human resource management from administrative functions to a portfolio of assets.
Davis’ books have sold over half a million copies, and are published in 15 languages. His latest book, BLUR, enjoyed a long reign on Business Week’s bestsellers’ list. Davis has also written articles that appeared in Forbes, Fast Company and Strategy & Leadership magazines, among others.
His creative thinking makes practical connections to new business opportunities and earned his book Future Perfect the Tom Peter’s Book of the Decade Award. Federal Express presented him with their 1993 Visionary of the Year Award for “outstanding contribution to our understanding of future business trends.” Fortune magazine named Davis’ 20/20 Vision best management book of 1991, calling it “the most mind-bending of the bunch.”
Davis has a doctorate in the social sciences. He spent two decades on the faculties of the Harvard Business School and Columbia and Boston Universities. Davis consults about the strategy, management and organization of both major corporations and fast-growing enterprises, and is a senior research fellow at Ernst and Young’s Center for Business Innovation.
