The theory of “knowledge ecology” supercedes old ideas of management and business.
What a company knows is a strategic asset. However, it also can be a liability if it is not fostered by its leadership and members.

Therefore, the vibrancy of a corporation’s knowledge ecosystem is a more reliable indicator of its future performance than the extent of its financial might.

Hope For Imagining a World Beyond Corporate Control
Finding ways to democratically control our common wealth, from Quebec to India
An excerpt from the recent book SOS: Alternatives to Capitalism (New Internationalist Publications).
The commons is not just a battlefield between corporate predators and those who resist them – it is also a source of hope for those willing to imagine a world beyond capitalism. It represents a space between the private market and the political state in which humanity can control and democratically root our common wealth. Both the market and the state have proved inadequate for this purpose. In different ways, they have both led to a centralization of power and decision-making. Both private monopolies and state bureaucracies have proved incapable of maintaining the ecological health of the commons or managing the fair and equitable distribution of its benefits.
