The future of economic success is collaborative
These days, even big corporations are joining the open-source movement (ie. Tesla Motors sharing their patents with anyone interested in adapting and advancing the technology). How does this sharing concept compare with our current competition-trumps-all economic model? Jay Cousins explains that success today is often based on investing in not only the corporation but the rest of the industry's ecosystem. Urging us to "think like a mushroom, not like a dinosaur," Cousins explains why company longevity doesn't come from acting alone.
