Last week I wrote about a Wall Street Journal article chronicling the conflicts that globalization has led to at SAP (full text of the WSJ article here). We can expect more problems of this ilk as companies employ Enterprise 2.0 tools to ease global collaboration and social networking.
Shai Agassi, who left SAP recently, was quoted in the article and has now commented on it in his blog.

The focus: a provocative discussion on how today's largest newspaper and magazine publishing companies are innovating to stay relevant (and profitable).
The format: a week-long session focused on extending the SharePoint platform using their unique and innovative applications in the emerging social business space. In addition to intensive development time, the teams heard from various developer experts, SharePoint engineering, SharePoint product management and a panel of nventure investors.
Find out more about each teams' work as well as coverage of the eventual winner.
