Techies contribute to the community by opening up the technology details/code. More and more people use it/contribute to it and improve it. The technology gets better day by day as more and more people start contributing. Check out my view on this concept from by previous post – Standing on Shoulders of Giants.

Now whats there in the management world which is similar. How can management guys learn from the community and contribute to it. What can they contribute which is equivalent to the code contributed by techies. Im not an MBA guy, but Ill try to find some things form my experience with the management guys.

What about market study ? Can we have a repository of market studies like we have code repositories. Will any individual or company share the results of market study ?

How about business plans that have worked and havent worked ? Or are they very secretive in nature ?

Having written all these, now im having a strange feeling. Am I asking a stupid question ?
