Self-discipline is one of the most important lessons taught at university. Unlike high school, university teachers don’t hound students to do their homework or turn in essays on time.

The Internet has had a profoundly positive impact on education and higher education in particular. And today’s university graduates score higher on standardized tests than ever before.

In terms of preparing them for the real world, all university graduates should be social media savvy.

Not only from the perspective of control, but also from the perspective that a lot of organizations dont trust their people to be responsible, while they trust them to run their business. I agree that this is a contradiction of sorts, but who is going to tell them that? Hi Andrew,

The grand idea of Enterprise 2.0 is to democratize what had previously been hierarchical processes - dare I say a return to the 60s "power to the people" movement. In that sense, the bike program is a very good example of Enterprise 2.0 at work - using people deconstruct and reconstruct transportation. JC Decaux is also famous here in SF for their coin operated public bathrooms, another good, if slightly less photogenic, example of Enterprise 2.0 at work Having just returned from a year in Paris teaching at the INSEAD MBA program, I can confirm that the French excel in grand gestures.

The scheme was introduced fairly recently and is still on trial. And the jury is out on how successful it actually is. Right now, indications are: not so. Half of the bikes have actually gone missing. I am guessing that the Parisian system has more "sticks" built into it than the Stockholm one. The Parisian system, Andy writes, has a hefty penalty for not returning the bike: your credit card is charged for replacement costs. To my knowledge, the Stockholm system does not have that built in. If so, I'd argue that not only is an existing network (Internet) a necessary prerequisite, but also digitialized moni (credit cards) in order to deter misuse. It has to hurt to abuse the system. Or?

Their recent initiative might be viewed as the result of looking across the industry groups of "owning a bike" and "buying a stolen bike for a couple euros" (someone who lived in Amsterdam once told me this is a thriving 'business'... not sure how accurate that information is), while throwing in some of the convenience of public transportation and taxicabs.
