The Global Wave of Entrepreneurialism: Harnessing the Synergies of Personal Initiative, Digital Technologies, and Global Commerce
David Bollier
The Report of the Seventh Annual Aspen Institute Roundtable on Information Technology
1999
Abstract
For the past six years The Aspen Institute's Roundtable on Information Technology has brought together leaders, academics, and experts in the information and communications fields to address an aspect of the communications revolution and its impact on societies, organizations, and individuals. During that time, the Roundtable has examined such subjects as electronic commerce, sovereignty, communities and personal identity. In each case, participants explore how the new information technologies and networks are impacting a particular field. The observations of each are suggestive of a new Digital Age.
At the same time, however, another over-riding trend has emerged that has impacted similar phenomena. That trend is a new emphasis on entrepreneurialism, to differing degrees worldwide; indeed, some call this an Age of Entrepreneurialism.
