Summary

In their bestseller Wikinomics, Don Tapscott and Anthony Williams showed the world how mass collaboration was changing the way businesses commu­nicate, create value, and compete in the new global marketplace.
 
This sequel shows that in more than a dozen fields—from finance to health care, science to education, the media to the environment—we have reached a historic turning point. Collaborative innovation is revolutionizing not only the way we work, but how we live, learn, create, govern, and care for one another. The wiki revolutions of the Arab Spring were only one example of how rebuilding civilization was not only possible but necessary.
 
With vivid examples from diverse sectors, Macrowikinomics is a hand­book for people everywhere seeking a transformation of industry and institu­tions by embracing a new set of guiding principles, including openness and interdependence. Tapscott and Williams argue that this new communications medium, like the printing press before it, is enabling nothing less than the birth of a new civilization.

Media reviews

“A Schumpeterian story of creative disruption.”
—The Economist
 
“Nothing less than a game plan to fix a broken world.”
—The Huffington Post
 
“Tapscott and Williams show how business, government, civil society, and people everywhere can leverage technology to work together in new ways to solve the greatest problems of our multipolar world. Critical reading.”
—Bill Green, chairman, Accenture
 
“Tapscott and Williams’ insights about the power of collaborative innovation and open systems, and their call to ‘reboot’ our institutions—business, education, media, government—hasn’t come a minute too soon. Macrowikinomics inspires by chronicling these pathbreaking developments and pointing the way forward for all of us.”
—Eric Schmidt, executive chairman, Google
