They mention Eli Lilly and Co. and the edits to that page on Wikipedia, but what I can imagine is companies having to figure out what to do with an entire wiki dedicated to the pharmaceutical industry or even to  Eli Lilly and Co. itself.  This forces transparency.  This forces companies to change the way the operate their business.  (for example see what [[SourceWatch]] is doing in terms of think tanks and the like.) Of course this all centers on the idea that people will embrace the simplistic self organization of wiki, which I excited to see.  (see [http://recentchanges.info/?p=78 Why wiki is good for work])
