Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything (Hardcover)
Don Tapscott and Anthony D. Williams
The word "wiki" means "quick" in Hawaiian, and here author and think tank CEO
Tapscott (The Naked Corporation), along with research director Williams, paint
in vibrant colors the quickly changing world of Internet togetherness, also
known as mass or global collaboration, and what those changes mean for business
and technology. Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia written, compiled, edited
and re-edited by "ordinary people" is the most ubiquitous example, and its
history makes remarkable reading. But also considered are lesser-known success
stories of global collaboration that star Procter & Gamble, BMW, Lego and a
host of software and niche companies.
