He also radically changed the way he managed, turning a command-and-control hierarchy into a more democratic organizational structure.
The tools managers once used with great success, from how they pay their people to where they seek out new product innovations, are being reevaluated. Manufacturing processes that worked seamlessly a year ago may be a recipe for piled-up inventory as spending slows. And strategies once deemed unthinkable, such as cutting the salaries of rank-and-file managers, are being embraced by some of the world's largest companies, including FedEx (FDX) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ).

- he first main advantage is the presence of multiple parallel paths to solve an innovation problem. In both markets and communities, external innovators will explore innovation landscapes that are often unknown and unexpected by the organization. A high-performing solution often comes by this type of exploration.
- The main concerns about working with outside innovators relate to intellectual property and the potential loss of secrecy.
- The nature of the innovation problem at hand. Where the firm is in its technology life cycle may drive its choices. Mature technologies are amenable to markets, while nascent technologies can be better developed through communities.
  The motivation of the external innovators. Those motivated by extrinsic rewards like money and career may choose markets. Those motivated by intrinsic motivations like intellectual challenge and identity may prefer community.
  
  The business model embraced by the firm. As soon as a firm decides to open up for innovation, it transforms itself from a strictly product or service business into a platform business. Depending on the type of platform business model (integrated, product, or two-sided), the host firm has a choice about the amount of control it exerts over outside innovators. While markets and communities coexist in all three platform business models, there is a tendency for communities to prefer platforms that exert less control, and for external innovators in markets to trade off tight control for a larger share of the profits.
