Abstract

Silicon Valley is an ideal research laboratory for studying super-flexibility. Living on the cutting edge of technology and innovation, nothing stays stable for long. Competitive landscapes habitually transform, almost overnight. New start-ups keep the incumbents on their toes. Multi-cultural entrepreneurs bring in diverse recipes from all over the world. Knowledge workers change jobs and move between assignments. New players create novel solutions; and today’s successful “stars” habitually become tomorrow’s “black holes”.
