John Hagel III, John Seely Brown and Lang Davison (2010)
Exploring the paradigm shift in business brought about by innovations in communication technology, this collaboration from three consultant-authors provides a succinct metaphor for the shift in the information economy-from "push" to "pull"-but little else. Though they provide an effective survey of the effect of more interactive, ubiquitous and on-demand communication, it already feels dated; the essential messages that Hagel, Brown, and Davison derive-networking is key, you should pursue your passions, many traditional ways of doing business are over-are old news in the business self-help section. The examples they provide focus primarily on individually-driven collaborative efforts (wikis, online gaming) and make poor analogies for someone looking to revitalize a corporation or present a compelling case for change to colleagues or an intransigent CEO. Professionals who already know that the Internet isn't just a phase will need more information than this book provides.

Social networks and the connective tissue of a Big Societyhttp://www.headshift.com/blog/2010/07/social-networks-and-the-connec.php Lee Bryant: It is interesting to see the UK Government's Big Society initiative begin to take shape, and whilst success is far from guaranteed, there are aspects of this policy that are much needed in the current climate, coming after a period of public sector management that valued process over people and focused on inputs, not outcomes. But the proof will be in what this eventually means for all members of society, especially the most vulnerable, not just those who are already motivated to get involved with efforts to improve it.- Public Policy - Online communities - |

How Online Social Networks Benefit Organizationshttp://www.rheingold.com/Associates/onlinenetworks.html By Lisa Kimball and Howard Rheingold. In order to develop a strategy for its future, an $8-billion energy company needed to identify the forces that would influence its industry. Previously, the company had used outside consultants to conduct a scenario building process with the top 15 corporate officers. Results were disappointing - final reports sat on the shelf. To make a real difference this time, the process had to go deeper and involve more people across the company to get grass-roots buy-in for recommended changes.- Online communities - |
