@Vasanth : I rather mean service institution like schools, media, churchs, etc. But, as to procurement of goods, I think websites like e-bay able a one-to-one transaction with far less betweens than there used to be…

“A social trend in which people use technologies to get things they need from each other, rather than from traditional institutions like corporations”

If you are talking about the procurement of goods and services, traditional institutions like departmental stores and banks are still top dog. The only thing is, these traditional institutions themselves are harnessing technologies to provide their goods and services efficiently and effectively.

Maybe you mean Multi-Level-Marketing (MLM) schemes like Amway and Quixtar. But from what I see, these haven’t really caught on.

You should swing by BrazenCareerist sometime. It’s Gen Y professional and personal development site, and though the emphasis is on career, a lot of conversations about leadership and culture do come up.

In the name of full disclosure: it’s where my blog gets syndicated.
