John Seely Brown, Former Chief Scientist, Xerox, Palo Alto, California and John Hagel III, Management Consultant and Author Burlingame, California (HBR 2003)

John Seely Brown, Former Chief Scientist, Xerox, Palo Alto, California and John Hagel III, Management Consultant and Author Burlingame, California (HBR 2003)
