Mehr über Ebays "Disruptive Innovation Team", das Ebay im letzten Sommer formiert hat, und seinen Leiter Max Mancini gibts in der Mai-Ausgabe von Fast Company:
"Now "we want [the developers] to make money," Max Mancini says. "When they grow their business, they also grow ours." Mancini, 40, heads eBay's Disruptive Innovation team, formed last summer, he says, to identify "things that take the company forward the next 10, 20 years." (...)
"What that means is 45,000 software developers are thinking of ways to make it easier to use eBay," Mancini says. That's nearly four times the number of actual employees and a lot more brainpower applied to the challenge of fueling eBay's growth. Among other things, their tools adjust sellers' pricing, manage inventory, and tailor eBay to every imaginable niche market.
"EBay has gone from 'Are they threatening us?' to 'Wow, they're adding value. Let's support them,'" says Rodrigo Sales, cofounder and CEO of Vendio, one of the largest third-party developers in the eBay ecosystem."
