After reading this week's Assigned Readings, discuss the following in 100 words (minimum) to 200 words (maximum). Be sure to state the question, then respond.
a) The title from one of the Assigned Readings, "Freedom with Fences", seems paradoxical. In 30 - 50 words, briefly explain what Stephens means by "Freedom" and "Fences".
b) Stephens talks about a form of "radical transparency" where bloggers expose a competitor's weakness on the Internet. Find a real world example of a firm that experienced "radical transparency" on the Internet. Discuss the salient points of the incident as it relates to "radical transparency".
