As of December 2007 Jack will likely start writing about product management too. Movable Type 4.01 tag:blog.jackvinson.com,2003://1.504.241 jeff angus http://cmdr-scott.blogspot.com To add to your blend on this subject, I recommend "Cannibals & Kings" by Marvin Harris, a book that discusses the environmental effects on the trajectory of innovation evolution. Most pointed section is the one on rainfall cultures vs. irrigation cultures and how the means of delivering water to feed to agriculture affected requirements for forms of governance and the probabilities of ending up with democratic cultures vs. hierarchical ones.
I can't recommend the Harris book strongly enough for its insights of value for organizational development.
