The Fifth Discipline: The Art & Practice of The Learning Organization28 reviews
Peter M. Senge
Doubleday Business, 2006
Systemic thinking: the art of thinking in loops...
+ Excellent book on systemic thinking in business context
I won this book in a lottery and it was on my bookshelf for several years. I thought it would be one of those repetitive bestsellers about management and leadership, so common in this genre. Belonging to this genre, this book could not escape its being repetitive, but the content far outweighed ...

Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything93 reviews
Don Tapscott, Anthony D. Williams
Portfolio Hardcover, 2006
Could be helpful if you are new to the topic...
+ The future of economics
As has already been stated, the view of the world of mass collaboration presented in this book is rather simplistic. It could be helpful, though, if you are new to the topic and would like to understand what "emergence", "wikis" and "prosumers" mean and how the term "knowledge" is changing in ...

The World Is Flat [Updated and Expanded]: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century1166 reviews
Thomas L. Friedman
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2006
The world is almost flat, but not completely flat.
Friedman does a good job explaining how the world became flat, or I would say almost flat. The examples are very relevant, although the book originally was written in 2004. His "Dell Theory" deserves applause.

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking967 reviews
Malcolm Gladwell
Back Bay Books, 2007
blink...and then it's gone
There's not much substance to this book. Rather than being a resource of information, it is merely a book of examples. There is no broad takeaway you can gather from it after reading except to say perhaps that many of our decisions are based on split-second thoughts. But did you really need to read ...
