Update - Don Tapscott, Authors@Google und Wikinomics

Auf Don Tapscott hab ich bereits mehrfach hingewiesen, einmal im Kontext mit seinem Interview in brandeins in diesem Jahr. Aktueller Nachtrag, und diesmal sitzen wieder die üblichen Verdächtigen zusammen, ist ein Interview mit ihm auf youtube, im Rahmen der, lesen Sie einfach selbst: “Author Don Tapscott discusses his book “Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything” as part of the Authors@Google series. This event took place February 28, 2007, at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, CA”

In diesem Zusammenhang ein Link zum whoiswho Blog von Ulrike Reinhard, die gerade umgezogen ist und ein paar Kilometer neckaraufwärts wohnt. Digital lifestyle am Fluss. Sie traf vor ein paar Wochen in Frisco W. Brian Arthur auf der IBM Almaden Conference und …”recently Brian gave a talk about this topic at the IBM Almaden Conference in San Jose. Let me summarize his key points for you:

1. Standard economics asks: What agent behavior is consistent with the pattern it creates?
Complexity economics asks: How does behavior adapt to the pattern it creates?
2. This leads to a shift from equilibrium economics to non-equilibrium economics meaning multiple possible outcomes and becoming aware of adjustment problems (a »nudging hand).
3. New economics sees business more like an ecological system than a well defined machine and it defines the problems as you go (e.g. web 2.0 software; no longer an issue of versions - always beta).
4. As far as strategic planning is concerned, new economics allows some structure to emerge and provides libraries of solutions.
5. Cognitive behavior will replace rational behavior.
6. We will deal with more realistic instead of simplified assumptions (heterogeneous vs. homogeneous agents).
7. We no longer act in a static equilibrium but in evolving patterns with perpetual novelties.”
