Chapters 5 and 6 - Diagnosing Convergence and Why Full Convergence is Fatal

Chapter 5

The author offers a method to tell how converged any given company is: comparing the company's actions to various standard measures. He gives examples of several companies and their actions to establish a standard to compare your own company to.

Chapter 6

The author describes the actions of various heavily-converged companies including T-Mobile, Google, and Starbucks, and why those actions are destructive to the corporation's nominal goals.

Since this is a fairly short book, we already need to start planning for our next book if we'd like to keep this going. I still like the idea of alternating fiction and non-fiction. So I have a couple of ideas for what might be a good fiction book next, but I'll wait for a mid-week post. If you have a suggestion, please add it in the comments.
