  24. EcoNets/Internet Zaibatsus“The model is about partial acquisitions and ownerships that then form a whole.

Corporations of the past never had that.”Flip Filipowski, divine interVentures (Red Herring)

  25. “The brick and mortars will die, no matter what. … So you have to take your best employees and best businesses and spin them off and just own 40 percent of everything that’s left. Do that and you survive.”Flip Filipowski, divine interVentures (Red Herring)

  26. “With the arrival of the Internet, corporate control has completely disappeared. Business today is about all kinds of companies participating to make something happen. Nobody knows any more what the products will do and what the markets will be. Markets define themselves. You have to be able to react to them organically….“Control is an illusion. I don’t think that it ever existed, but now even the illusion is gone. As a result, we’re experiencing the rebirth of intuition.”Avram Miller

Greatness is fleeting and, for corporations, it will become ever more fleeting.
