"...instructions from a 1944 CIA field manual for sabotaging
companies. The manual suggests that agents encourage companies to use
channels to make decisions, and when possible refer matters to
committees for further study and consideration. Companies will face
further strife when spies within encourage haggling over the precise
wording of communications.
Ironically, many companies now follow such policies, which today
discourage the use of Web 2.0 tools. "In big organizations, there is
always someone who can say no," Burke said. "It is really hard for
organizations to change because everyone is looking for someone else
to say its OK. Web 2.0 has allowed us to create new avenues of
dialogue, to allow new ideas to emerge." "
