“Technology has long shifted away from the Victorian era's dominance of bulk material processing, and now it is shifting again: from single-purpose fixed processes or machines into raw functionalities that can be programmed to different purposes in different combinations. Reflecting this, the economy—the high-tech part of it, at least—is more about putting together of things than about the refining of fixed operations. Business operations...still reflect the era of large, fixed technologies. But increasingly...they are about combining functionalities—actions and business processes—for short-term reconfigurable purposes. The economy, in a word, is becoming generative....

For the entrepreneur creating these new combinations...little is clear. He often does not know who his competitors will be. He does not know how well the new technology will work, or how it will be received. He does not know what...regulations will apply....The environment that surrounds the launching of a...combinatorial business is not merely uncertain;...aspects of it are simply unknown.

This means that the decision "problems" of the high-tech economy are not well defined. As such...they have no optimal "solution." The problem of management is not to rationally solve problems but to make sense of an underlying situation—to "cognize" it, or frame it into a situation that can be dealt with....Again here is a seeming paradox. The more high-tech technology becomes, the less purely rational becomes the business of dealing with it.”
