Introduction

Many enterprises have innovated but generally only on the external or market-oriented part of the management system. Conversely, as concerns the internal part of the management system, traditional organizations have often stuck to obsolete tenets and techniques of management that choke their dynamism and innovativeness. For centuries, most sciences have progressed essentially as separate bodies of knowledge. The Internet Revolution is among the factors that changed that. It has galvanized globalization, and it has helped technologies to converge and to merge. The Internet Generation is agile, and it can raise instantaneously full power for a sudden sprint. Moreover, it is ambidextrous because it is open to different ideas, and able to run concurrently disparate activities. The leadership can decide to launch a change-management program, but if a critical mass of people remains wrapped up in a traditional mindset and in old habits, the new program will not work.
