Stumbled into this blog by Andrew McAfee from Harvard Business School where he tends to talk about the “impact of information technology on businesses and their leaders”
Looks like several articles on Enterprise 2.0 and related topics.
Enterprise 2.0 wont transform organisations
by Tom Davenport on March 21, 2007 11:51 AM; Harvard Business Online
I like stuff that makes sense. The best definition of Enterprise 2.0
Enterprise 2.0, or the widespread adoption of social media and participative technologies in order to transform culture and decision-making in large organizations.
And the key arguement why it isn’t the magic bullet.
Enterprise 2.0 software and the Internet won’t make organizational hierarchy and politics go away. They won’t make the ideas of the front-line worker in corporations as influential as those of the CEO. Most of the barriers that prevent knowledge from flowing freely in organizations power differentials, lack of trust, missing incentives, unsupportive cultures, and the general busyness of employees today won’t be addressed or substantially changed by technology alone
Excellent article arguing the negative point of enterprise 2.0.
