From Ray Ozzie's weblog (I do like his thinking...and he's a neigbor!):
(I strongly recommend the book if you haven't yet read it - full text online since late last year. "It takes networks to fight networks; whoever masters the network form first and best will gain major advantages." In it, you'll find example after example of edge-based, largely decentralized organizational forms and how they compete, e.g. how swarming tactics can be used to overwhelm adversaries. In reading it, I gained a much better appreciation of the challenge before us in combating highly-decentralized organizations - from al-Qaeda to drug-smuggling cartels. The premise that hierarchies have a difficult time fighting networks is compelling.)
