When the French poet Louis Aragon wrote the line "the weight of the future pushes each present moment back to but a memory", its application to either the internet or management would never have entered his mind. And yet, the words of the great poet resonate for the contemporary challenge of information technology in enterprise.
En écrivant que "l'avenir à chaque instant presse le présent d'être un souvenir", Louis Aragon ne pensait sûrement ni au management ni à Internet. Pourtant, curieusement, les vers du grand poète français décrivent bien l'un des défis que les nouvelles technologies de l'information lancent aux entreprises.
