BOOK REVIEW: In the last few years, traditional
collaboration—in a meeting room, a conference call, even
a convention center—has been superseded by
collaborations on an astronomical scale. Today,
encyclopedias, jetliners, operating systems, mutual
funds, and many other items are being created by teams
numbering in the thousands or even millions. While some
leaders fear the heaving growth of these massive online
communities, Wikinomics proves this fear is folly. Smart
firms can harness collective capability and genius to
spur innovation, growth, and success. A brilliant primer
on one of the most profound changes of our time,
Wikinomics challenges our most deeply-rooted assumptions
about business and will prove indispensable to anyone
who wants to understand the key forces driving
competitiveness in the twenty-first century. Based on a
$9 million research project led by bestselling author
Don Tapscott, Wikinomics shows how the masses of people
can participate in the economy like never before. They
are creating TV news stories, sequencing the human
genome, remixing their favorite music, designing
software, finding a cure for disease, editing school
texts, inventing new cosmetics, and even building
motorcycles.
