Recommendation

Cicero said, “We were born to unite with our fellow men and to join in community with the human race.” This compulsion may explain the recent swell of community-driven enterprises. In an interview with Ralf Dreischmeier of the Boston Consulting Group, entrepreneur Chris Anderson shares his firsthand experience of running a firm that has grown out of a community. getAbstract recommends Anderson’s unique perspective to fervent hobbyists seeking best practices for establishing a business with fellow enthusiasts.

Take-Aways

  • Community-driven companies thrive in an open-innovation environment.
  • When disruptive technologies cause fundamental industry changes, attempting to buck the trend is futile.
  • New technologies reduce barriers to entry, allowing more competitors – often amateurs – to enter previously inaccessible fields.
