Networks make organizational culture and politics explicit – Michael Schrage

First there was the industrial revolution, then the information revolution, and now the network revolution. Spontaneous, rapidly forming, and self-organizing networks are popping up everywhere to expose dishonesty, unfairness, and corruption where power is concentrated in the hands of a few self-important fatheads. Look at Wikileaks, the Iranian election, and more recently, Egypt and Tunisia-fish. Networks are slooowly forcing bozeltines, against their gold-plated wills, of course, to behave more honestly and equitably. Who knows, maybe man’s inhumanity to man will be eradicated some day and networks will have played a key role in its demise? Prolly not in my lifetime, but maybe in yours.
