| Basically, while traditional proprietary software companies will
| undoubtedly milk their monopoly rents for a long time (my alma
| mater, Novell, continues to pull in hundreds of millions of dollars
| each year in maintenance on licenses sold at the dawn of the IT
| industry), increasing piles of cash are going to the technology
| and business model innovators.

Innovative Experiences
,----[ Quote ]
| When the book The Experience Economy first appeared (in 1999), it
| raised a lot of different questions. How are companies grappling
| with the notion of "open-source experiences"?
|
| Beth: You have to give up control to your customers. It is very scary
| - you don't know where it will go. When we were not innovative enough,
| it's because we didn't give up enough control.
|
| NASDAQ: The customer is designing your services, products and even
| platforms. The fear is that of missing the accidental innovation. The
| notion of, "Oh, it has applications somewhere else?" We are trying to
| nurture this mindset within the culture.
