Abstract

Without being bothered by too many social or environmental constraints, certified futurologists are surfing on technological prowess to hold out the promise of renewed economic growth thanks to investment in technical innovations. Based on the adage of "Winner takes all", an economic fact stylized by Sherwin Rosen in his "tournament theory" to analyze the economy of the star system, the doctrine of the "technological unicorn" celebrating enterprise 2.0 is distilled at Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) conferences by digital media "opinion leaders", organized by strategy consulting firms and funded by asset managers in this "new economy". Rather than having to challenge certain rules of the economic game, these facilitators of a "renewed business ethics" call for sustainable entrepreneurship, philanthropic capitalism and artificial intelligence to bring out solutions with "socio impact - significant economic "in a context of globalized markets.
