Produktinformation

Surowieki concentrates on three kinds of problems. The first are cognition problems (problems that are likely to have definitive answers, such as: "How many books will Amazon sell this month?"). The second are problems of coordination (problems requiring members of a group to figure out how to coordinate their behaviour with one another) and the third are problems of cooperation (getting self-interested, distrustful people to work together-- despite their selfishness). The brilliant first half of the book illustrates this theory with practical examples. The second half of the book essentially consists of case studies with each chapter talking about the way collective intelligence either flourishes or flounders. Much of this part deals with business topics such as corporations, markets and the dynamics of a stock-market bubble.
Surowieki has an engaging, direct style defending his surprising central thesis in entertaining ways by, for example, talking about laying bets on football games and political elections; traffic jams; Google; the Challenger explosion and the search for a missing submarine. The Wisdom of Crowds is an entertaining book making a serious point and by the end of the superb first half the reader has been made to accept that, while with most things, the average is mediocrity, when it comes to decision-making the average results in excellence. --Larry Brown

Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Wisdom of Crowds (Taschenbuch)
This book discusses society's issues with cognition, coordination and cooperation leading to the conclusion that these very factors differentiate societies from groups of people that just live together. Surowiecki also makes a strong case that independent, unbiased, well-thought out decisions by a group of individuals will more often than not produce a better answer than the best answer from a single individual. However, people are constantly watching one another and creating opinions based on others' actions, which can lead to dependency as shown throughout history with market bubbles. Although, I was skeptical at first that this was another organizational behavior book with the same message delivered in a different format, my mind was quickly changed and I was more than satisfied by the thoughts and lessons offered by the author.

Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Wisdom of Crowds: Why the Many Are Smarter Than the Few and How Collective Wisdom Shapes Business, Economies, Societies and Nations (Gebundene Ausgabe)
I bought this book out of curiosity and because I always believed that the cleverest of all should be allowed to decide and not necessarily be questioned or debated by others who were "less informed". I am glad I did follow my curiosity and wanted to say that the examples given in this book and the way this question was exposed made me think again. It also slightly steps into the question of if and how the "wisdom of the crowds" works in societies that are not entirely democratic (are in the middle of a transition).Personally I found it thought provoking and very interesting, and it did leave me with a good taste in my mind. Five stars for a book that stayed on my mind. Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen

Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Wisdom of Crowds: Why the Many Are Smarter Than the Few (Taschenbuch)
Ganz so einfach ist es nicht.In dem Buch "The Wisdom of Crowds" wird an vielen Beispielen dargestellt, dass es sein kann, dass eine Gruppenentscheidung einer Expertenentscheidung überlegen ist. Dies trifft überraschenderweise auch auf Fragestellungen zu, die gemeinhin als nur von Experten zu beantworten angesehen werden. In dem Buch wird ebenfalls erläutert, wie diese Überlegungen auf Entscheidungsprozesse in dem eigenen Umfeld z.b. Beruf eingesetzt werden können. Mich selbst hat dieses Buch angeregt, darüber nachzudenken, wie die Abschlusswahrscheinlichkeiten im Verkauf besser geschätzt werden können. Hinzu kommt, dass der Schreibstil so eingängig ist, dass dieses Buch sich sehr leicht lesen lässt. Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen
