A Platform for Studying Progressive Self Management in Online Communities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction The World Wide Web is witnessing an explosion in new forms of online communities enabled by advances in user-created content, social networks and by leveraging the Wisdom of Crowds (Porter 2004). These advances are empowering online communities to move from mere discussion fora to viable, valuegenerating organizations or value networks. Value networks are composed of individuals or organisations working as peers, independent of the control of any single enterprise. Members derive value from the rapid and targeted growth in intellectual and social capital that networks can offer compared to traditional forms of organisations, hence there is a growing recognition of the economic and social importance of webmediated value networks (Allee 2003).
