Megacommunity
Megacommunity :
The megacommunity is a relatively recent phenomenon. It is made possible by the increasing complexity, interdependence, and technological sophistication of modern society. A megacommunity takes advantage of the pervasive information technologies (such as shared servers, satellite phones, and geographic information systems) that enable people and organizations to communicate easily across national and organizational boundaries, sharing information and collaborating in ways not possible just 10 or 15 years ago. (Himberger, Sulek and Krill, When There is No Cavalry, Autumn 2007, pp. 6-7) A megacommunity is more than a public private partnership or alliance. It is a carefully designed effort in which all the key actors are invited to collaborate with the understanding that they are co managing the problem and the development of solutions. (Ibid, p. 9)
