Personal learning goals for Net-centric Economics

My goals for the class are to acquire an understanding of:
• the principles classic economics theory
• how the dynamics of net-centric economics conform to and diverge from the principles of classic economics
• specific reasons, related to the above principles and dynamics, why various net-centric business models have succeeded or failed
• the strengths and weaknesses of networked production models

And:
• enhance my ability to evaluate the viability of net-centric ventures, especially the ones that pop into my head
• get over my proprietary resistance to the concept of user-generated content (specifically in advertising) and identify opportunities to harness it for the benefit of my clients and my business
