Ori Brafman and Rod A. Beckstrom - The Starfish And The Spider Genre: AudioBook From Publishers Weekly Brafman and Beckstrom, a pair of Stanford M.B.A.s who have applied their business know-how to promoting peace and economic development through decentralized networking, offer a breezy and entertaining look at how decentralization is changing many organizations.
