Musings on Entrepreneurship and Innovation

Don Park calls for hierarchy in Blogland. Ray Ozzie disagrees. Ozzie believes that a mix between recurring and random feeds better serves him and his company, Groove Networks. I believe that Duncan Watts covers this very issue in his latest book, Six Degrees, in the section on how multiscale networks help to cope with ambiguity.
Thank you, Don Greer, for pointing out Dietrich Dörner's classic, The Logic of Failure. There may be tendencies in human cognition that make it difficult for us to make good decisions in complex situations. Nevertheless, by recognizing those inhibiting factors, there is the possibility for improvement. Don, like Dörner, believes that computer-aided simulations combined with experience-based human feedback, can help us learn to make better decisions.
