Good entry. I think you can add “moral hazard” as a potential barrier to meaningful collaboration, especially from the technical ranks. The “bargaining chip” for many engineers and scientists at different companies is their accrued knowledge, currently they have little to gain by providing knowledge to the overall employee base and everything to lose by “openness”. For them, it pays to be antisocial. So Enterprise 2.0 software is only one piece of the puzzle, just a tool. Much more in terms of “culture” needs to happen for many companies to have a truly collaborative business environment.
After all, how much did open community help Gutenburg and his printing press?
