People motivations are changing?
1943 - Maslow 2013 - ?!?
Online & Offline boundaries blurring
People: • New paths in Maslow’s pyramid• ‘truth’ is a tweet, photo or video clicked & sent away• New definitions of ‘success’: money may not be in• Access to luxury more important than owning luxury – Rise of sharing economy
• Self-realization and self-actualization online• (Win)^3: You help me, I help you, we help others• Klout score in your resume• Managing man-machine symbiosis, key competencies.• Global network, global thinking, global objectives. A collective intelligence
arising (Singularity)
new generation of social entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurship
People: new generations Reduced sense of security since 2001 terrorists attacks
Destabilized economy since Global Financial crisis 2008
High unemployment levels – ‘Evil’ corporationsIncreasing perceived fiscal pressure – self sustain or live out of the system
Pervasive & cheap computing everywhere
Tech-entrepreneur heroes – Dorsey, Zuckenberg, Larry, Sergey
All tools you need in the web: crowdfunding yourself (kickstarter)
reduced loss of aversion (nothing to lose) fostering self driven -entrepreneurship (most benefitial path in given conditions)
