• The Social Affordances of the Internet for Networked Individualism
  We review the evi­dence from a num­ber of sur­veys in which our NetLab has been invol­ved about the extent to which the Internet is tran­sfor­ming or enhan­cing com­mu­nity. The stu­dies show that the Internet is used for con­nec­ti­vity locally as well as glo­bally, although the nature of its use varies in dif­fe­rent coun­tries. Internet use is adding on to other forms of com­mu­ni­ca­tion, rather than repla­cing them. Internet use is rein­for­cing the pre-existing turn to socie­ties in the deve­lo­ped world that are orga­ni­zed around net­wor­ked indi­vi­dua­lism rather than group or local soli­da­ri­ties. The result has impor­tant impli­ca­tions for civic involvement.

• The Strategy of the Fighter Pilot
  Business is a dog­fight. Your job as a lea­der: Outmaneuver the com­pe­ti­tion, respond deci­si­vely to fast-changing con­di­tions, and defeat your rivals. That’s why the OODA loop, the brain­child of “40 Second” Boyd, an uncon­ven­tio­nal fighter pilot, is one of today’s most impor­tant ideas in bat­tle or in business.
