The Networked Idealist's Advantage

Strategy & Leadership

Eli Singer, Alex Lowy, Phil Hood

2005-06-01

A new type of innovator is revolutionizing marketplaces around the world. Called networked idealists (NIs), they combine the rascal-like idealism of Robin Hood with the network-based business models of early internet businesses like Priceline and Netscape. These innovators are initially non-profit entrepreneurs who develop organic, cellular, distributed network structures to accomplish their work. They use financial, transportation and communications networks in novel ways to circumvent normal barriers to market entry. With the proliferation of networks, networked idealism is on the rise. Even networks that seem relatively benign – PayPal, GPS, Wi-Fi – may soon serve as launching pads for some new NI business assault.

If you grew up with games, you can use this book to teach your boss how to appreciate your gaming abilities in the workplace.

Don Tapscott, long time tech author ( Digital Capital , Growing Up Digital and Paradigm Shift ), and co-author David Ticoll ( Digital Capital ) say in their latest book, The Naked Corporation: How The Age of Transparency will Revolutionize Business , that when a corporation is naked, it is best to be buff.
