The recent high profile demise of beloved UK entertainment retail brand, HMV, promoted a feeling of national mourning, as another established and seemingly permanent business began to disappear. But it also represents a tipping point for business as we know it.

How a crowdsourcing project attempted to create a national anthem for India.
When it comes to sources of innovation, government isn’t exactly the first thing that comes to mind. In Chile, however, that’s not the case. No, new technologies aren’t flowing out of the legislature, nor is President Sebastián Piñera giving up his day job to go the entrepreneurial route.
However, the Chilean government has proven a major proponent of all things technology and entrepreneurship in the country.

With the advent of new communication technologies and networks on the Web 2.0, traditional work processes seem to be becoming increasingly obsolete. Crowdsourcing is one of the hottest trends in the actual business world and represents the new way of working: The working models of the future are no longer devised in the upper echelons of big business. They often occur among the very young in non-traditional settings. And sometimes putting this bit of “here” and “there” together leads to the same ideas.
My first cross with crowdsourcing was more like a collision, brought on by a friend’s (considerate) attempt to help out and my (persistent) aversion to social-media-overshare. I had made the decision to buy a smartphone and asked a friend I considered tech-savvy for...

There is no travel involved, and conversations are limited to the business at hand. Communicating with someone half a world away doesn’t require that both people be online at the same time, thus saving even more valuable time. BusinessLeads is designed exactly for this purpose.
