One of the most profound changes in business and society is the emergence of the post-Millennial generation, Gen Z. While every new generation has faced its share of disruption in technology, economics, politics and society, no other generation in the history of mankind has had the ability to connect every human being on the planet to each other and in the process to provide the opportunity for each person to be fully educated, socially and economically engaged.What might this mean for business, markets, and educational institutions in the future? In this revolutionary new book, The Gen Z Effect: How the Hyperconnected Generation is Changing Business and Society Forever, authors Tom Koulopoulos and Dan Keldsen delve into a vision of the future where disruptive invention and reinvention is the acknowledged norm, touching almost every aspect of how we work, live and play. From radical new approaches to marketing and manufacturing to the potential obliteration of intellectual property and the shift to mass innovation, to the decimation of our oldest learning institutions through open source and adaptive learning, The Gen Z Effect provides a mind-bending view of why we will need to embrace Gen Z as the last, best hope for taking on the world’s biggest challenges and opportunities, and how you can prepare yourself and your business for the greatest era of disruption, prosperity, and progress the world has ever experienced.

Smartsourcing is the next evolution in outsourcing. Traditional outsourcing reduces costs by moving the work to where the least expensive workers are. While that may cut costs, it simply replicates the status quo. This book shows how to partner with service providers to cut costs and increase innovation across the full spectrum of a business.

Als Apple den iPod oder iTunes in die Welt setzte, hat das Unternehmen nicht bloß Produkte erfunden, sondern zugleich das Verhältnis der Menschen zu Musik und ihren Umgang damit für immer grundlegend verändert. eBay schuf nicht einfach einen Markt für Auktionen, sondern veränderte das Einkaufserlebnis und die Rolle des Gemeinschaftsgefühls. Und auch Google hat nicht die Suchmaschine für das Internet erfunden, sehr wohl aber die Art und Weise verändert, wie Werbetreibende ihre Käufer finden und dafür viel Geld bezahlen. Dies alles sind gute Beispiele dafür, dass für viele Firmen das Konzept echter Innovationen zur treibenden Kraft ihres Erfolgs geworden ist.
