Hi David,
- I like your imaginative / intuitive reasoning. It inspires me to transcend the boundaries of reason and logic. You help me see the benifits of transrational / transcultural advantages. I recently learned that our crisis (at various scales and within various domains, including business are crisis of imagination) . Indeed, imagination allows us to discover and live / work within worlds of inbetweenness (move beyond binary thinking). For more info, check this links:

- As for the notion of business ecosystem, I recently came across the rhizome metaphor and its implications in cultures, humanities and organizations. The use of rhizome metaphor has great implication. It helps us understand knowledge and ideas from a truly natural (ecological) point of view. It will help us bridge the ecological divide between humanity and the nature. The divide was created by the industrial age. The industrial worldview made us see the world as fragmented entities that must be owned, consumed, used, accumulated..etc. In contrast, the emerging ecological civilization is changing these perceptions radically. The ecological worldview is helping conscious people see the world as dynamic interactions, connections, continuums..etc. (see socioeconomic processes as universal processes with no local boundaries). A growing number of people around the world now see nature as a source of learning, prosperity creativity and innovation (not consumption and destructive growth). They are very concerned about ecological future on earth. for more info about rhizome, check this entry

- I think the growing ecological /rhizomatic turn combined with the new communication paradigm are going to change the exisitng intellectual order (new signifying and representation systems). The new systems will be dominated by imagination . It will facilitate the creation of a new imagination based civilization. However, the challenge is to have moral imaginative thinkers..!
best,
