Abstract

An evolutionary stage model of cyberspace is proposed based on the four key fundamental driving forces: Moore's Law, Gilder's Law, Metcalfe's Law, and the Law of Disruption. It is suggested that the managerial tasks and information and communication technologies associated with the utilization of cyberspace will change in character over a period of time, and will evolve in patterns roughly related to the proposed four stages, namely, the node stage, the link stage, the network stage, and the space stage. Each stage is described and validated through a longitudinal single-case study of Samsung Economic Research Institute (SERI) from 1996 to 2001.
