Interview: Don Tapscott beyond wikinomics
Wikinomics became the number one management book of 2007. Don Tapscott’s latest book, Grown-up Digital”, is now available. In this podcast Cliff Saran speaks to him about the internet generation. In Grown-up Digital, Tapscott argues that today’s youngsters have grown-up with the internet and are better suited to working in the digital age than previous generations. But business and governments are lagging behind. “We need to rebuild all our institutions. The corporation is broken. The financial system is broken. We need to change the basic modus operandi of government. Industrial age bureaucracies have been around a hundred years, and were a good idea because we had systems to prevent corruption. Now we have opportunities to move towards networked models, to create public value and change the nature of democracy.”
