McAfee, Andrew.
Machine platform crowd : harnessing our digital future / Andrew McAfee & Erik Brynjolfsson. - 402 pages : illustrations, 21 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The triple revolution
Mind and machine
The hardest thing to accept about ourselves
Our most mind-like machines
Hi, Robot
Where technology and industry still need humanity
Product and platform
The toll of a new machine
Paying complements, and other smart strategies
The match game: why platforms excel
Do products have a prayer
Core and crowd
That escalated quickly: the emergence of the crowd
Why the expert you know is not the expert you need
The dream of decentralizing all the things
Are companies pass�e(hint: no)
Economies and societies beyond computation.
"We live in strange times. A machine plays the strategy game Go better than any human; upstarts like Apple and Google destroy industry stalwarts such as Nokia; ideas from the crowd are repeatedly more innovative than corporate research labs. MIT's Andrew McAfee and Erik Brynjolfsson know what it takes to master this digital-powered shift: we must rethink the integration of minds and machines, of products and platforms, and of the core and the crowd. In all three cases, the balance now favors the second element of the pair, with massive implications for how we run our companies and live our lives."--
