Good article on internet-age organization, which begins with an observation from Shapiro and Varian: "There is a central difference between the old and new economies:CRLFthe old industrial economy was driven by economies of scale;CRLFthe new information economy is driven by the economics of networks..." (from Information Rules - if you haven't read this book I do recommend it). Most of the article is concerned with networks of information ploy between groups within companies. I have one observation: If knowledge is power, as the article suggests, and everybody has full access to knowledge, then what happens to power? Via several sources, and most recently, elearnspace.
