Well, the "end of the corporation" has been predicted (as a fad) many times post WWII, and I think it's an error to assume that the corporation will be substituted for some form of "wikinomics". Corporations will always be needed to mobilize capital for large projects (think: a steel mill or mining the moon, etc) and the author was right to point that out. Also, there will come a time when these "wikinomics-based" systems will be turned into platforms, much like Facebook is a platform, and platforms inevitably become big corporations too.
