Synopsis

Today, an unprecedented amount of capital fuels higher and higher levels of innovation and entrepreneurism. Organizations are struggling to acquire survival skills as trade evolves in all dimensions: speed, magnitude, diversity and intricacy. Just as Newton?s view of the world gave way to Einstein?s relativity which then made room for Bohr?s quantum mechanics, so we need to replace our 18th century views of business to make way for new models of understanding the interactions of the markets. This crucible is the Echange economy, an environment that will radically alter the skills we and our organizations will need to survive in the coming years.
