Summary/Abstract: Tapscott and Williams (2006) and Leadbeater (2007) are the experts that introduced andframed the socio-economic term wikinomics, internationally. They, essentially, described anew world of web-based economics where cultural values such as participation, collectivismand creativity are its foundation. These values not only form the new business models of thedigital economy, but their declared cultural roots suggest an ideological paradigm shift: amove towards a restructuring of post-industrial societies and economies.
