Don Tapscott is an entrepreneur, consultant and author of books on the digital age. His 14th, “Macrowikinomics: Rebooting Business and the World,” is in bookstores today and was written as a result of the financial and institutional crises, something he calls “twilight time for the elites”.
He maintains that 2008 represents a turning point where Internet-enabled models will accelerate the replacement of traditional approaches by institutions, governments and organizations.
