Summary
Book:
The Emergence of The Relationship
Economy
The
convergence of technology
that accelerates the power
of relationships and facilitates
dynamic communications--peer
to peer and to entire communities--is
revolutionary to say the least.
The book defines The Relationship
Economy as “The people
and things we are connected
with in our personal networks,
who or that distribute or
consume our capital, which
in turn influences our individual
production outputs.”
The book analyzes the factors
that are influencing an emerging
economy based on the sum of
factors driving massive and
significant changes to the
way everyone will work, play,
and live.
This emergence will have an
especially profound effect
on businesses and individuals.
While individual factors are
self-evident, the collective
factors, taken as a whole,
are the basis for individual
conclusions for strategic
opportunities that can be
gained from the new economy.
The book provides the knowledge,
tools, and suggested skills
necessary for improved comprehension
of the strategic issues required
to succeed in The Relationship
Economy, and provides the
context of actions that enable
success. It covers an emerging
opportunity for the global
community of users/consumers/prosumers/citizens,
consumer brands, corporations,
non-governmental organizations,
and governments to play a
critical role in forging this
new carbon-neutral economy:
The Relationship Economy.
This book details an emerging
economy, driven by factors
that are affecting massive
changes to the way people
work, play, and live. This
emergence will have an especially
profound effect on business.
While individual factors are
self-evident, when taken collectively,
they are the basis that individuals
use to identify strategic
opportunities to be gained
from the new economy.
This book is a foundational
resource for individuals and
entities to use as each begins
to plan for participation
in the accelerated changes
brought on by technological
advances of the World Wide
Web. The goal of the book
is to enable each person to
gain perspective, knowledge,
and insight as to the dynamics
of technology, the impact
of changes brought on by the
social Web, and what factors
should be considered for the
purposes of planning for success.

The
Emergence of
The Relationship Economy
The New Order of Things to Come
by Scott Allen, Jay T. Deragon,
Margaret G. Orem and Carter F. Smith
The Web is
steadily becoming a utility of the
masses. We have become familiar with
using the Web for communicating, surfing,
shopping, receiving information in
different forms, and a host of other
usage attributes--both personal and
professional.
The Web economy has largely been fed
by advertisers vying for eyeballs
and attention. Advertisers have been
a fundamental resource of the Web
economy. When a change occurs that
alters the old models and creates
improved models with a promise of
higher returns, then changes are likely
to create systemic shifts across the
entire Web that influence the system
from end to end.
Innovation inevitably spawns further
innovation throughout the supply chain
of interconnected elements that fuel
Web usage patterns, and the social
Web facilitates systemic changes which
are fueled through such innovation.
The social Web brings more influential
human elements with global reach than
any previous technological development
in the history of the Web. Combine
the influence of the human elements
with the economic power of relationship
driven commerce and you have a scenario
that will create further changes unforeseen,
unpredictable, and unimaginable.
These changes are profound and create
historical shifts that open opportunities
for those who prepare and embrace
the factors that enable a successful
transition from the old economy to
the new. |
