Transaction cost economics - Theories Used in IS Research - 0 views

  • Transaction cost economics suggests that the costs and difficulties associated with market transactions sometimes favor hierarchies (or in-house production) and sometimes markets as an economic governance structure. An intermediate mechanism, called hybrid or relational, between these two extremes has recently emerged as a new governance structure .

    Today Cisco announced a new way of working sustainably called "Connected and Sustainable Work", designed to provide cities, employers, and citizens with a new framework for fostering economic growth, increasing the quality of life, and addressing the challenges of climate change. The announcement, marked by the opening of the first Smart Work Centre (SWC) in Almere, Amsterdam, highlighted the second Connected Urban Development (CUD) Global Conference, hosted by Cisco and the City of Amsterdam. The first SWC is located in the neighbouring Amsterdam community of Almere and provides space to workers in individual or group work settings, using information and communications technologies (ICT) while at the same time improving lifestyle, productivity goals, entrepreneurial models, reducing travel costs and impacts overall carbon emissions.

So Much for the Freelance Economy - 0 views

  • The trend suggests that predictions of an economy run by freelancers -- such as those made by Daniel Pink in his book Free Agent Nation, and by MIT's Thomas Malone and Robert Laubacher in their 1998 paper, "The Dawn of the E-Lance Economy" -- were shortsighted. In 2000, research firm EPIC/MRA of Lansing, Michigan, estimated that 41 percent of all Americans would be private contractors by 2010. But today, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that self-employment numbers have not grown at all over the past four years.

Social Information Filtering: Algorithms for Automating "Word of Mouth'' - 0 views

  • Social Information filtering essentially automates the process of ``word-of-mouth'' recommendations: items are recommended to a user based upon values assigned by other people with similar taste. The system determines which users have similar taste via standard formulas for computing statistical correlations.
    • Thieme Hennis
       
      dit gebeurt bij Last.fm, Amazon, etc...
  • need not be amenable to parsing by a computer
  • may recommend items to the user which are very different (content-wise) from what the user has indicated liking before
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • ecommendations are based on the quality of items, rather than more objective properties of the items themselves
  • The basic idea is: The system maintains a user profile, a record of the user's interests (positive as well as negative) in specific items. It compares this profile to the profiles of other users, and weighs each profile for its degree of similarity with the user's profile. The metric used to determine similarity can vary. Finally, it considers a set of the most similar profiles, and uses information contained in them to recommend (or advise against) items to the user.
  • One observation is that a social information filtering system becomes more competent as the number of users in the system increases.
  • The system may need to reach a certain {\em critical mass} of collected data before it becomes useful.
  • Finally, we haven't even begun to explore the very interesting and controversial social and economical implications of social information filtering systems like Ringo.

Self-organization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • In social theory the concept of self-referentiality has been introduced as a sociological application of self-organization theory by Niklas Luhmann (1984). For Luhmann the elements of a social system are self-producing communications, i.e. a communication produces further communications and hence a social system can reproduce itself as long as there is dynamic communication. For Luhmann human beings are sensors in the environment of the system. Luhmann put forward a functional theory of society. Self-organization in human and computer networks can give rise to a decentralized, distributed, self-healing system, protecting the security of the actors in the network by limiting the scope of knowledge of the entire system held by each individual actor.

      dit is dus belangrijk: self-reproducing communications. een stuk tekst toevoegen is ook een vorm van communicatie, wat dus weer opnieuw communicatie oproept. "dynamic communciation"
  • Most modern economists hold that imposing central planning usually makes the self-organized economic system less efficient.

Building A Smarter Corporation - Forbes.com - 0 views

  • Tacit's software, when installed in an enterprise, interacts with the e-mail system on every employee's desk and "learns" their expertise. No, it is not LinkedIn, where all individuals need to feed in their resumes and thereby "announce" their expertise. Tacit's artificial intelligence algorithms work in the background, reading all your e-mail exchanges, noting who you correspond with, how often and on what topics, and in this way, it creates a personalized profile of your areas of knowledge. Tacit's software includes privacy controls, so no one can access your profile without your permission.

      kijk, dit bedoel ik nu. het is dus niet actief bijhouden wie en wat je bent, maar meer passief (en automatisch) dit laten uitrekenen door de software.
