Podcast 1: Business ecosystems come of age
Enabled by digital connectivity and new tools for collaboration and co-creation, the business world is moving beyond the traditional bounds of "industries" and coalescing into rich "ecosystems"—creating new opportunities for innovation as well as new challenges for incumbent enterprises.
Podcast 2: Blurring boundaries, uncharted territory
Today, long-standing boundaries and constraints that have traditionally determined the evolution of business, the economy, and society—such as those between producers and consumers; large and small organizations; developed and developing economies; human capabilities and machine capabilities; and the physical and digital worlds— are blurring, and even dissolving. As old constraints diminish, new opportunities emerge.
