Ten Ways a CEO Can Use the Internet

It should come as no surprise that some CEOs are hands-on when it comes to the Internet and others are decidedly hands-off. If you are not comfortable using a personal computer, or if you just don't have time to play with the Internet, you can choose a designated surfer to help you accomplish one or more of the following. If so, you will want to choose someone who knows enough about your business to deliver genuine results.

  1. Time-shift vital communications -- manage the e-mail process so everybody wins.
     
  2. Keep an eye on your competition by visiting their websites and monitoring news sources.
     
  3. Get the news and information you really need -- filter out the noise.
     
  4. Find out what people are saying about you, your products or your company by scanning the Web and public newsgroups.
     
  5. Identify the materials, equipment, products and services your company needs to buy -- it's what 80% of business people do online.
     
  6. Take advantage of continuing education and distance learning programs from major universities and industry leaders.
     
  7. Shop for books, gifts, computers or software -- experience the emerging world of e-commerce for yourself.
     
  8. Manage your investments - see if it makes sense to cut out the middleman.
     
  9. Keep in touch with friends and family, wherever they are.
     
  10. Participate in an online community that shares your personal or professional interests.
