Companies started building long, low factories instead of high narrow ones, and started arranging machines linearly into configurations that became assembly lines.

The difference with old developments were we first faced problems and then used to find solutions. Enterprise 2.0 technologies work ahead. When we got particular gadgets, service like del.ici.us or wiki (solutions), we start using them and then find we really needed them --- to finally become "ratchet".

I also think there is a bit of new administrative behavior here. As Al Chandler so beautifully pointed out so many years ago, the progress of commerce came on the back of new administrative processes -- for the M-Form organization is an invention. I think with what you call Enterprise 2.0 technologies, we are seeing the beginning of a new set of self organized -- almost market based -- mechanisms that scale completely differently than old style administration. Put another way, current management practice is like IBM's System Network Architecture, which was eventually swallowed up by TCP/IP. john Hi Andy,
