Peer production, the commons, and the future of the firm
回顾了对等生产(如开源软件、维基百科)的成功,挑战了传统经济模型中关于物质激励、财产权和企业中心地位的三个核心假设,强调内在动机和公共资源的作用。
From free and open source software, through Wikipedia to video journalism, peer production plays a more significant role in the information production environment than was theoretically admissible by any economic model of motivation and organization that prevailed at the turn of the millennium. Its sustained success for a quarter of a century forces us to reevaluate three core assumptions of the standard models of innovation and production. First, it places intrinsic and social motivations, rather than material incentives, at the core of innovation, and hence growth. Second, it challenges the centrality of property, as opposed to the interaction of property and commons, to growth. And third, it questions the continued centrality of firms to the innovation process.
