Wikinomics, Future of Work and Enterprise 2.0

Wikinomics - How Mass Collaboration changes Everything , is a very good introduction to the potential of web based collaboration platforms.

Here is The Blurb :

"In the last few years, traditional collaboration—in a meeting room, a conference call, even a convention center—has been superceded by collaborations on an astronomical scale.

Today, encyclopedias, jetliners, operating systems, mutual funds, and many other items are being created by teams numbering in the thousands or even millions. While some leaders fear the heaving growth of these massive online communities, Wikinomics explains how to prosper in a world where new communications technologies are democratizing the creation of value. Anyone who wants to understand the major forces revolutionizing business today should consider Wikinomics their survival kit".

If Wikinomics is definitely the future of work, then the Enterprise 2.0 software architecture should reflect the underlying phenomena described in Wikinomics.
