Andrew McAfee's Enterprise 2.0 is a career changer. You'll walk away with new views of communication and collaboration through well articulated concepts, thoughts and suggestions whether you work in a corporation, nonprofit, school or any other organizational environment. This is the rare non-fiction book that you are disappointed to see end. The constant flow of useful information leads to a notebook full of actions to take and ideas for additional research.

In 2003 publisher Tim O’Reilly began using the term “Web 2.0” to describe the emergence of the “participatory web.” Blogs, Wikis, reviews and recommendations were turning passive consumers into active contributors. O’Reilly sponsored a conference around the concept and a buzzword was born. For the past couple of years, MIT’s Andrew McAfee has been championing the use of these tools behind the firewall as a means to foster innovation and ef More...

Combine this with Collaboration by Morten Hansen and you have a knockout. This book provides a great introduction to what most refer to as Web 2.0 technologies. May be too introductory for some but don't skip as he weaves in elements that help prove the case for the benefits of social platforms in a corporate environment. He uses 4 real case studies to illustrate concepts and how different needs have been met by elements of Enterprise 2.0 platforms.

If you have heard of Enterprise 2.0, they you have heard of McAfee. He coined the term in his 2006 paper in the MIT Sloan Management Review: Enterprise 2.0: The Dawn of Emergent Collaboration.
You will enjoy the book. It pulls together all of the bits and pieces that he has said about Enterprise 2.0. Because even if you are familiar with McAfee and Enterprise 2.0, you have not had it all put together nicely in one place. I learned some great new things and was able to see some old thi More...

I believe the book could have used a lot more in-depth examples of Enterprise 2.0 usage. The four short case studies were introduced in more depth than the solutions they used for their problems.
I would have liked to understand more about the different uses of E 2.0 technologies and in which circumstances each should be used. The book seemed to be a bit misleading in presenting only the consideration of tie strength in determining which technology to use. While it does seem to be a More...

I found this book very informative. The author uses the term Enterprise 2.0 to describe how the new internet technologies of Web 2.0 can be implemented at organizations' internet and intranets. These technologies include blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia and others. He starts off discussing three case studies and throughout the book refers to these and how they used these tools to communicate and collaborate. He talks about success stories and some pitfalls.

This book by Andrew McAfee is a real eye-opener and career-changer. It probably sounds quite boring and I initially picked it up for work, but it turned out to be fascinating even for a techphobe like myself. This book might sound like it only applies to the tech industry, but everything you will learn about Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 applies to all fields and industries, and will open your eyes to the fundamental shift that is happening right now in the way we work, heading away from a hierarch

If you're new to all this web2.0 stuff, this book will provide some good case studies to illustrate how this new technology can transform your business. However, if you are an early adopter and are already immersed in implementing wikis, blogs and forums, this book is going to tell you much that you already know. It will validate that you are doing the right thing and that to get everybody on board is a long haul.

Using as a source for a thesis investigating how Web 2.0 technologies are complementing or supplanting traditional Knowledge Management (KM) initiatives for internal organizational knowledge generation and sharing within the social media industry.
