We’ve recently seen Facebook go public with a $100 billion valuation and General Motors, formerly the world’s biggest company, go effectively bankrupt and need to be bailed out by the US government.Meanwhile, the new web darlings, Instagram andPinterest, have built communities of millions of people in a matter of months, not years and they have done it with a staff that can fit in my living room (which, I might add, is not that big).
What’s amazing is that we have come to take things like these in stride. Such events have become not exactly the rule, but not the exception either. In short, we have witnessed the complete transformation of business as we knew it. The scale economy has become the semantic economy, where value chains have been subsumed by value networks.
