| posted by Heath Row

In a recent comment, FC Now reader Cynthia Typaldos brings up the idea of guilds as a new form for organizing business people. A couple of years ago, we talked about that concept with Thomas Malone, a professor at MIT's Sloan School of Management and founder of the Center for Coordination Science. While the conversation touched primarily on free agents, the guild model has promise for other business people, as well as corporate partnerships and industry groups.
