TY - JOUR AU - Halal, William AB - The growth of Internet capabilities allows the creation of “online knowledge–gathering/research systems” or “online learning systems” using collective intelligence and Delphi methods. The TechCast Project is used as an example, illustrating how pooling the knowledge of 100 experts worldwide creates a “virtual think tank for tracking the technology revolution.” Online Research/Learning Systems offer powerful new capabilities for gathering knowledge in complex organizational systems, and they are expected to become widely used to anticipate threats and opportunities, forecast technological breakthroughs and their impact, estimate market demand and planning, evaluate alternative strategies, and almost all executive functions.
