(2003-11-25) Pollard On Charles Handy

Dave Pollard on Charles Handy. What may be needed is a "virtual Federation" of independent businesspeople (Free Agent-s) and NCEs... So let me coin a broader term than NCE (New Collaborative Enterprise), called NonRestrictiveBusiness (NRB) to refer to any organization in any form that does not contractually limit its members to working only with other members of that same organization... And once you start getting researchers, distributors, job-shop manufacturers, and marketers, you start to have the makings of the business World Of Ends in the diagram above, flexibly contracting with each other, and eliminating the big corporate (BigCo) Middle Men (Middle Man) who currently skim most of the profits and make all the decisions.
