Sneak Preview: Douglas Rushkoff's Latest

Experience Manifesto gives us a nice teaser of the upcoming Douglas Rushkoff book:

American enterprise, in particular, is at a crossroads. Having for too long replaced innovation with acquisitions, tactics, efficiencies, and ad campaigns, many businesses have dangerously lost touch with the process – and fun - of discovery.

”American companies are obsessed with window dressing,” Rushkoff writes, “because they're reluctant, no, afraid to look at whatever it is they really do and evaluate it from the inside out. When things are down, CEO's look to consultants and marketers to rethink, re-brand or repackage whatever it is they are selling, when they should be getting back on the factory floor, into the stores, or out to the research labs where their product is actually made, sold, or conceived.”
