This is a link to a set of scenarios that describe business architectures in a net-enabled world. Note that the third scenario (C: The Swarm) is based largely on p2p principles and is similar to the open source approach to projects. The second scenario (B: Global Value Webs) has p2p aspects but at the level of how multiple corporations cooperate and adapt without any hierarchy or strong central control. There is the notion of an orchestrator (like the conductor of a symphony) to provide coordination but there are not legal and ownership lines of control. Results are obained more through excellence and influence than power and control.
