BOOKS & PAMPHLETS

The starfish and the spider : the unstoppable power of leaderless organizations
Ori Brafman and Rod A Beckstrom
New York : Portfolio, 2006
An exploration of the implications of the recent rise of decentralized organizations such as Wikipedia, Grokster and YouTube. The book contrasts them to centralized organizations, such as Encyclopædia Britannica, using compendiums of knowledge as examples. The spider and starfish analogy refers to the contrasting biological nature of the respective organisms, starfish having a decentralized neural structure permitting regeneration.
