Hinweis der Redaktion
- The obligatory brag slide.
- von Hayek quoted from his famous 1948 paper “The use of knowledge in society” in his acceptance speech when he won the Nobel prize in economics in 1974. His point was that knowledge in a society is disorganized and decentralized, and sometimes contradictory.
- Recent History: The Internet is breaking down barriers to knowledge. Information now around the world instantaneously, without filters. This new unfiltered knowledge transfer medium has ushered in regime change and social upheaval.
- The micro-blogging site, Weibo, has caused social change in China. The high speed train crash had over 3000 “tweets” and could not be censored. Lost children have been found on Weibo as well as coordination of C2C disaster relief. Weibo is the pulse of China!
- Think there is information overload today? 500 years before von Hayek made his Nobel prize speech, people complained about information overload and knowledge management. When the printing press was invented, people complained that there were too many books! How did they determine what books to read? Social interactions. Similar to today.
- The world has went social. The growth of social media is mind boggling. All of the social media platforms have open APIs for developers to interact with and build application on top of.
- Hong Kong is a unique place to manage this new social media/knowledge revolution. It is an extremely wired place with tremendous penetration of social media. Your business can’t ignore it!*Last bullet is a fly in, as a joke (but it is true)
- This new revolution brings new challenges to your business. The consumerization of IT is a problem for IT, employees bring their phone(s) to work. Customers will expect you to have interact with them on social media, and they will complain (loudly) on social media. Mobile and Globalization have launched your company into the global marketplace without even asking you.
- Embrace Social Media, don’t fight it!
