The Great Business Gestalt

What’s the Great Business Gestalt? It’s one of our big ideas from the 25 big ideas from my new book: What the #$%?! Is Going On?

This big idea is about the Great Business Gestalt. A Gestalt is a German word that means the whole cannot be separated from its parts. And, this represents a brand new way to think about your business as a unified entity.

So, in this episode we share:

The five principles of Web 2.0
The common theme amongst these five principles
How Facebook saved it’s business
How Amazon won the war
Why Google lets you create Mashups
The Gestalt of competition branding, sales, marketing, ownership, IP and crowdsourcing, products and services.
