“성장의 한계”와 “제한 없는 성장” |
|
| 1970년대 인류를 둘러싼 다양한 위기를 피하고 관리하기 위한 활동이 시작됐다. 그중 최초의 사업은 ‘인류의 위기에 관한 프로젝트’로, 이 프로젝트를 수탁한 MIT가 로마 클럽에 제출한 연구보고서가 바로 『성장의 한계』(The Limits to Growth)』이다. “성장의 한계”는 지구라는 한정된 공간 속에서 기하급수적 성장을 무한대로 계속할 수 없다고 생각하였다. 하지만 이에 대한 반론이 있다. “제한 없는 성장”이 그것이다. |

Inflation Remains a |
|
| Many Americans assume that inflation is rising. They fear that the recent increase in commodity prices will lead to higher finished goods producer prices and then higher consumer prices. This fear is intensified because people tend to notice when prices go up for products they buy most often.
As economist A. Gary Shilling points out in a recent commentary, such “widespread fears of inflation are understandable. Historically, inflation is a wartime phenomenon when government spending is huge, while deflation reigns in peacetime. Still, the nation suffered a uniquely long 60 years of war, which started with rearmament in the late 1930s, was followed by World War II, which promptly gave way to the Cold War that was augmented by the War on Poverty. So, most Americans have never experienced anything but inflation, which they believe is the way God made the world.” |

Tracking the Experts |
|
| Regardless of whether we’re talking about open or closed innovation, building open source or proprietary systems, or discussing operating under a product-centered business model, a customer-centered model, or a co-creation model, companies can’t effectively compete unless they can locate and organize the available expertise. But, expertise can be surprisingly difficult to find, even in businesses that have spent millions to attract and retain world-class experts. The problem isn’t that the company doesn’t have the expertise; it’s that no one knows who has it or how to find it. |
