Summary and Introduction :
Times are a-changing. That means that we also have to change our views on the future to what might lead us in a constructive way through the major structural transitions. We can see that many national elections and referenda are signals of protest against the establishment powers. These have failed to see that many seemingly solid assumptions and policies are either false or do not work anymore: abundant raw materials, scarcity of information, hierarchies, upward movement in lower/ middle classes, neoliberal market mantras. The resulting ANGER and Insurrections have been averted by the elites by blaming "others". The resulting wave of hatred and even open racism is similar to the popular fascist movements in the 1930's after the ’30 Crash. We are now in a similar position: after the Crash of 2008. The only alternative to endless hate and destruction is to start a wave of constructive interconnection and online ICT collaboration I call Synthecracy which can create value, wealth and jobs for the young. 2

What things are over their validity date?
• Increasing inequality and freezing of mobility • Communism AND Kapitalism (NeoLib) do not work anymore as a total solution / out of proportions. Market disfunctions. • Nation States ?? • Hierarchies disfunction, slow and ill-informed. • Education, knowledge can not prepare for change and new insights/
patterns. Skills, Crafts • Simplicity & linear & static models Everything connected
Complexity (ecologies)

THE NEW vs. THE TRADITIONAL PARADIGM ( Perez [12] A RADICAL AND DIFFICULT SHIFT IN MANAGERIAL COMMON SENSE (part 1)
CONVENTIONAL COMMON SENSE NEW EFFICIENCY PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES
COMMAND AND CONTROL
• Centralized command • Vertical control • Cascade of supervisory levels • "Management knows best"
• Central goal-setting and coordination • Local autonomy/Horizontal self-control • Self-assessing/self-improving units • Participatory decision-making
STRUCTURE AND GROWTH
• Stable pyramid, growing in height and complexity as it expands
• Flat, flexible network of very agile units • Remains flat as it expands
PARTS AND LINKS
• Clear vertical links • Separate, specialized functional departments
• Interactive, cooperative links between functions, along each product line
STYLE OF OPERATION
• Optimized smooth running organizations • Standard routines and procedures • "There is one best way" • Definition of individual tasks • Single function specialization • Single top-down line of command • Single bottom-up information flow
• Continuous learning and improvement • Flexible system/Adaptable procedures • "A better way can always be found" • Definition of group tasks • Multi-skilled personnel/Ad hoc teams • Widespread delegation of decision making • Multiple horizontal and vertical flows
PERSONNEL AND TRAINING
• Labor as variable cost • Market provides trained personnel • People to fit the fixed posts • Discipline as main quality
• Labor as human capital • Much in-house training and retraining • Variable posts/Adaptable people • Initiative/collaboration/motivation

THE NEW vs. THE TRADITIONAL PARADIGM (Perez [12]) A RADICAL AND DIFFICULT SHIFT IN MANAGERIAL COMMON SENSE (part 2) EQUIPMENT AND INVESTMENT
• Dedicated equipment • One optimum plant size for each product • Each plant anticipates demand growth • Strive for economies of scale for mass production
• Adaptable/programmable/flexible equipment • Many efficient sizes/Optimum relative • Organic growth closely following demand • Choice or combination of economies of scale, scope or specialization
PRODUCTION PROGRAMMING
• Keep production rhythm; Use inventory to accommodate variation in demand. • Produce for stock; shed labor in slac
• Adapt rhythm to variation in demand • Minimize response time ("Just-in-time") • Use slack for maintenance and training
PRODUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT
• A specific measure for each department (purchasing, production, marketing, etc.) • ercent tolerance on quality and rejects
• Total productivity measured along the whole chain for each product line • Strive for zero defects and zero rejects
SUPPLIERS, CLIENTS AND COMPETITORS
Separation from the outside world: • Foster price competition among suppliers Make standard products for mass customers Arms length oligopoly with competitors • The firm as a closed system
Strong interaction with outside world: • Collaborative links with suppliers, with customers and, in some cases, with competitors (Basic R&D for instance) • The firm as an open system

Value of ICT Networks and Networking? The four Network Effects. I. Sarnoff’s Law: Media, Broadcasting networks. Value ~ N (number of viewers/ Eyeballs) Additive. Value for advertisers. Supplyside. Exmpl: FIFA: football – commercials [CableCo’s] II. Metcalfe’s Law: Communication networks. Value ~ N ^2 ( number of participants that can communicate with eachother). Quadratic. Value for the networkoperator. [Telco’s] III Reed’s Law: Number of Tribes you can be member of or not. Value ~ 2 ^ N Exponential through Internet. Value for (adspiring) people to be one of the members. IV Van Till’s Law: Value for the participants for their unique contribution in network collaborative COOPERATION. Synergy by networked combinations, diversity. Value ~ N ! ( N factorial = N * N-1 * N-2 * N-3 * …..*1 ) New Power ! Multiplicative Value for the team empowered participants with unique skills.
