The Facebook Generation vs. the Fortune 500

Management author and consultant Gary Hamel, on his Management 2.0 Wall Street Journal blog, writes about "The Facebook Generation vs. the Fortune 500". He calls this emerging, young adult generation, Generation F, to follow Generations X and Y.

Hamel lists 12 features of work-relevant social networking behavior that has implications for more traditional management practices found in large companies. Included are the following: 1. All ideas compete on an equal footing; 2. Contribution counts for more than credentials; 3. Hierarchies are natural, not prescribed..... Interesting to read some of the posted comments as well.
