I really like what you have written there. However, there are some points that I would like to point out regarding your thoughts. <BR/> <BR/> The fist one is about the examples through the Wikinomics book. You have mentioned that there are good examples in the book and meanwhile you indicated there are not enough. As I recently started reading the Wikinomics book, I kind of figured out there are quite a few example in each chapter of the book. Hence, I don’t get that why you are not satisfied with the provided examples.<BR/> <BR/> The second one is about reading/hearing the same material in World is Flat by Tom Friedman. You know, Mass collaboration is reshaping the way goods and services are conceived, designed, developed, marketed, sold, supported, and ultimately consumed. As information silos are broken down and replaced with collaborative networks where peer-production and content sharing is the norm, traditional project hierarchies are giving way to global, cross-functional teams working at their peak by sharing information on a twenty-four hour a day basis. It is not all about companies, it’s about education too. As a 3rd year BBA student, Mass collaboration has helped us so far to get where we are now. We have been working on group projects and school assignments by sitting at home and doing it through web-top applications, (a shared document or program online between members).<BR/> <BR/> The third one is about yourself and education. I believe that as a scientist you been responsible for many of the technologies that created the tools mentioned in the book and I am sure that you leveraged the tools yourselves to benefit your own research. I think you don’t want to admit this one. I also believe that there have been lots of changes in education systems all around the world. Nowadays, educational systems have been changed and it is all about mass collaboration and peer production.<BR/> <BR/> Finally, there are many questions to be asked while a company tries to set up an IP, such as, What IP assets does a company own? What is the status of company’s IP portfolio? How does a company plan to protect its IP assets? How important are IP assets to the success of a company’s business? Does a company own all IP assets that it needs, or does it have to rely on IP assets owned by others? Does a company know enough about its competitor's IP strategies and IP portfolios? Does a company have an IP policy and IP strategy for its enterprise?, and so on. The Book Wikinomics actually talks about what is beneficial for our society regardless of its expenses.Yousef Ebrahimi Saatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06294301098986778151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3235359857777852495.post-56979086043619764452007-04-26T15:20:00.000-07:002007-04-26T15:20:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Yousef Ebrahimi Saatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06294301098986778151noreply@blogger.com
