Ok, so i just received Wikinomics by Don Tapscott and Anthony Williams today in the mail, thanks amazon.com. I chose Wikinomics because the idea of mass collaboration interests me and i want to see how it develops. Anyways, after receving the book ive read the first chapter of the book which is roughly 40 pages. The first chapter mostly gives a introduction to how mass colloboration as developed of the live of the internet. The authors pervseve mass colloboration as a nessitity for organiztion to stay innovative with limited resources. The authors gives small story of organization that have had success with breaking coporate barriers and opening their problems to the public. They go to say that the four principles of openness, peering, sharing and acting globally define how twenty-first century corporations will compete (30). They also introduce seven models of the collabloration economy that will challenge the traditional business model. They are peer pioneers, ideagoras, prosumers, the new Alexandrians, platforms for participation, the global plant floor and the wiki workplace. These models will be address further in the book so I will keep you posted.
