Michel Bauwens on the potential of Open Source to impact society way beyond Software and computing”
Michel Bauwens has recently posted some information about the potential of Open Source to impact society way beyond Software and computing. More about his work at http://delicious.com/mbauwens/Bauwens-Articles & http://delicious.com/mbauwens/Bauwens-Lectures.
Adam Arvidsson is Associate Professor of Sociology University of Milano and Adjunct Professor of Creative Industries, Copenhagen Business School and collaborates with Michel on his P2P Foundation blog. We found out about his work through an advert about a seminar on “New Survival Strategy: Ethical Economy” which is taking place in Thailand on April 20 at DPUIC
Whether it is email, Gatorade, the mountain bike or the latest surfboard, these social innovations are the result of communities working togehter, not of companies undertaking research and development. Hence, the smart companies are increasingly turning to open innovation, enabling co-design and co-creation of their products, and crowdsourcing volunteer labour.
