專才與通才間的平衡 專業的食品安全檢測不檢驗有毒化學物質，多年不知奶粉有毒；投資銀行獨立於紀律嚴明的銀行集團監管體系外，反而容許投資銀行從事高風險的業務，釀成巨災；診療癌症針對特定器官，卻沒想到致癌的病因可能與腦內的幹細胞有關。 頭痛看頭、醫頭，腳痛看腳、醫腳。這句大家如此熟悉的道理，其弊病竟會在各角落以不同面貌出現。我們習慣用放大鏡細看專業，卻忽略更大格局的通用道理。 美國財務軟體大廠財捷公司（Intuit）創辦人庫克所撰的〈志工幫你拚事業〉（74頁），就以Google、維基（Wiki）�...

Renting your spare room via Airbnb Selling jewellery you've made on Etsy Learning a new language on DuoLingo Sending a message with WhatsApp Finding a date on Tinder These activities are all made possible by the new collaborative economy, and they are all examples of Peers Inc companies. A revolution has been happening in business. People are coming together with corporations to redefine how businesses work, transforming capitalism along the way. New web-enabled platforms (the Inc) are making it possible for peers to realise the potential of their excess capacity (their spare room, smartphones, experiences, free time or networks) to create exciting new ways to work and succeed. In this path-breaking book Robin Chase, co-founder of Zipcar, shows how Peers Inc companies are unlocking the power of the collaborative economy. And further she demonstrates how this revolution is extending beyond business, changing government and legacy companies and its potential to help solve large scale social problems - from disappearing jobs to climate change.

In Smart Cities, Anthony M. Townsend documents this emerging futuristic landscape while considering the motivations, aspirations, and shortcomings of the key actors—entrepreneurs, mayors, philanthropists, and software developers—at work in shaping the new urban frontier.
