      Book Abstract

      MAIN IDEA

      Groups of people are incredibly hard to organize. That’s why until now, only large corporations could generally afford to buy the tools and build the infrastructure which were required to sync the joint efforts of lots of people. That’s about to change. For effectively the first time in history, a whole bevy of new social tools are coming to prominence which make it easy for groups to collaborate and take collective action.

      What this means for commerce is the environment in which the game of business is played has changed. You need to find ways to make these new social tools work for you rather than against you. Doing so will be an ongoing challenge, but if you ignore these tools, you run the risk of missing out on some interesting commercial opportunities.

      We are living in the middle of a remarkable increase in our ability to share, to cooperate with one another, and to take collective action, all outside the framework of our traditional institutions and organizations. Though many of these social tools were first adopted by computer scientists and workers in high-tech industries, they have spread beyond academic and corporate settings. Their effects are going to be widespread and momentous.
