2009 predictions: Mergers, Netbooks, Smartphones, Linux and Energy

Image via WikipediaWhile I think all of these are pretty safe bets, I think the author got it right on. And in 09-10 I think that safe bets will be the only bets, but that still doesn’t mean they’ll pay off. TG Daily – 2009: Year of mergers, platform changes and conservation Analyst Opinion – [...]

Book writing progress report

I feel pretty good about my progress to date. You can follow my progress via The Book category. Here’s a list of my most recent posts: The Myth of the Corporation. The Reality of the Corporation How Much Does Trust Cost? Creating Smarter Organizations. Creative Interactions Lead to More Innovation. Web 2.0 Has a Higher [...]

Web 2.0 Has a Higher Return on Total Investment

So far I’ve talked about capitalism as a metaphor. I know that the business owners and the skeptics who are reading this are saying “Great, but I have to worry about real capitalism.” This post is for you. When I first started working on the ideas for this book, the economy was great, markets were [...]

Creative Interactions Lead to More Innovation.

Image via WikipediaThere isn’t a CEO alive who doesn’t think more innovation is a good thing and something that their organization needs more of it. The problem is, no one’s really sure how to maximize it in a cost effective manner. We all have vague notions of where it comes from and there is no [...]

IZEA’s no worse than traditional advertising

Image by tedmurphy via Flickr I wasn’t going to weigh in on the IZEA issue, but I couldn’t help myself. Most of you probably don’t need a back story but for those that do I’ll try and be short. IZEA is most famous as the company that started PayPerPost. Basically you could pay their bloggers [...]

There are few areas inside a company, large or small, that are trickier to track than knowledge. There’s an entire professional disciple dedicated to knowledge management and even they struggle with how to [...]

How Much Does Trust Cost?

Image via Wikipedia Because of some of the reasons I outlined in my previous post, Corporations, The Government and The Media are all struggling with a severe loss of trust. Who’s trust is it that they’ve lost exactly? Well that would be The Public, aka everybody. I’d like to break down why it’s important that [...]

The Reality of the Corporation

Contrasting yesterday’s post, I would like to discuss the realities of the corporation as I see them. I would first like to preface this that I am not an economist. I’m merely a slightly jaded Gen X (aka Slacker) with an MBA. I’ve owned my own businesses and have been, and currently am, an “employee”  [...]

The Myth of the Corporation.

There was a time, supposedly, when large companies  resided in one building. When you worked your way *up* the company ladder, you literally moved up in the building. The higher you went the higher the paycheck, until you reached the top. Information traveled in the company the same way. Information came into the company at [...]

Writing a book before the end of the year.

I’ve been talking about this for two years now and it really bugs me.  I have a book to write. And I am going to write it before the end of the year. Ambitious? Yes. I have been writing pieces of it on this blog, I have an outline. I have pages upon pages of [...]
