Sharing Leads to Abundance

"The days of knowledge hoarding are coming to an end." So begins this article by Don Tapscott and if we could only transfer this bit of insight from the corporate sphere to the commercial sphere society as a whole would be better off. But let's deal with the argument where it's based. "The modern corporation requires internal transparency, essential for effective knowledge work. Employees must share unprecedented amounts of knowledge, be given the latitude and authority for making decisions, and be self-motivated. As such, most need high visibility into the values, strategy, business processes, and operations of the firm to collaborate and work effectively." Exactly. Now replace the word corporation with the word society and you get the same result. Practices that are harmful to corporations are harmful to society as a whole.
