"There is the idea of the 'different' company. A company that after more than 100 years is now turning its back on production based on the division of work. In his introduction, Götz Hamann, journalist for Die Zeit, describes the authors as engaged in an 'attack on capitalism'. Expert articles by such renowned authors as Andrew McAfee, Don Tapscott and David Weinberger are augmented by examples from Nokia, SAP and Vodafone in the quest to discover how Web 2.0 technologies can best be used as business tools, and how companies will need to change in order to survive as Enterprise 2.0 organizations. Not forgetting the question of whether it's worth it for company management. After all, Enterprise 2.0 necessarily implies that decision-makers must also 'let go' and give up their control. Yet are we really ready for this?" CIO "This book can (...) certainly be of help in illuminating a fundamental change taking place in the business world." ChangeX Online Journal for Change in Society and the Economy "The changeover to new ways of thinking in the enterprise requires everyone to undergo a multifaceted learning process." Associated Press "The Ideas Man (David Weinberger) is once again proposing a revolutionary thesis: purge your company of as much control as possible." Financial Times Deutschland "What we have here is a generational change." David Weinberger, in an interview for Spiegel Online

Innovation is a crucial topic in the study of economics, business, technology, sociology, and engineering. The questions asked in research nowadays focus not on it why innovation is important, but how to innovate and how innovation processes can be managed. Furthermore the discussion on innovation is about how to maintain strong economic growth in an era that is increasingly being defined by the globalisation of competition, major financial and demographic challenges. Recently the economy continues to upset the market and recession tempts to cut back on the investments in research and development in the organizations. But even now in spite of crisis and its impacts on the economy seems to be the perfect time to increase firms' innovation efforts. The increasing competition processes and the development of Web 2.0 technologies (soon Web 3.0) are challenging the business to build more interactive relationship between the real-time market participants. The companies must nowadays find out how to achieve a competitive advantage for future. This paper presents the concept of Open Innovation, which can help public and private institutions achieve better performance or business success and at last win the competition with market rivals.

Letting Go? investigates path-breaking public history practices at a time when the traditional expertise of museums seems challenged at every turn—by the Web and digital media, by community-based programming, by new trends in oral history and by contemporary art. In this anthology of 19 thought pieces, case studies, conversations and commissioned art, almost 30 leading practitioners such as Michael Frisch, Jack Tchen, Liz Ševcenko, Kathleen McLean, Nina Simon, Otabenga Jones and Associates, and Fred Wilson explore the implications of letting audiences create, not just receive, historical content. Drawing on examples from history, art, and science museums, Letting Go? offers concrete examples and models that will spark innovative work at institutions of all sizes and budgets. This engaging new collection will serve as an introductory text for those newly grappling with a changing field and, for those already pursuing the goal of “letting go,” a tool for taking stock and pushing ahead.
