Description (excerpt):
A grand transformation is underway. A wave of decentralization is sweeping across the globe and changing the way we live, work and play. The organization of resources and people is moving away from centralized systems toward integrated networks that include both distributed and centralized elements. The trend is pervasive across society and the global economy. Telecommunications, computing, retail, and enter- tainment have all moved toward decentralization. Today, we are at the beginning stages of decentralization in higher education, healthcare and energy. The decentralization movement has the potential to enable
unprecedented productivity gains and improve living standards for all.
