It explains how to harness an organization's natural ability to self-organize new processes spontaneously, and explains the traits that characterize collaborative members and community behavior. For business, these processes can result in successful development of products in R & D through lead-user innovation; better customer relationships by finding influencers and early adaptors; and better project management processes by finding gatekeepers and hidden leaders. The applications transcend sectors and organizations. It is about finding what is "cool" and putting that to productive use, whether by a small group of individuals or a large corporation. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Creative ability in business. 650 0 Technological innovations|xManagement. 650 0 Social networks|xResearch. 650 0 Data mining. 650 0 Group decision making. 650 4 Creative ability in business. 650 4 Data mining. 650 4 Group decision making. 650 4 Social networks|xResearch. 650 4 Technological innovations|xManagement. 650 7 BUSINESS & ECONOMICS|xWorkplace Culture.|2bisacsh 650 7 BUSINESS & ECONOMICS|xCorporate Governance.|2bisacsh 650 7 BUSINESS & ECONOMICS|xLeadership.|2bisacsh 650 7 BUSINESS & ECONOMICS|xOrganizational Development.|2bisacsh 650 7 Creative ability in business.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00882438 650 7 Data mining.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00887946 650 7 Group decision making.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00948375 650 7 Social networks|xResearch.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01122688 650 7 Technological innovations|xManagement.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01145035 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Cooper, Scott|q(Scott M.) 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGloor, Peter A.
