For instance, what are the general concerns with how open-based network alliances are structured? Can the implementation of an alliance strategy be simplified? And how can alliances consistently deliver value?

Increasingly, performance in these new knowledge-based industries will come to depend on running the institution so as to attract, hold, and motivate knowledge workers. When this can no longer be done by satisfying knowledge workers’ greed, as we are now trying to do, it will have to be done by satisfying their values, and by giving them social recognition and social power
