Don Tapscott And Anthony D. Williams

As long as communities have mechanisms for weeding out weak contributions, then large, self-selecting communities of people in constant communication have a higher probability of matching the best people to the right tasks than a single firm with a much smaller set of resources to work with. This applies to domains such as research and engineering as much as it does to software, education and entertainment.
