Project Description

See original announcement on CreaLab Blog

The trend towards Do-It-Yourself (DIY) and open knowledge sharing in communities is becoming a socially significant phenomenon. The resulting initiatives are based on collaboration and sharing: they understand jointly developed technologies, procedures and methods as well as information as common goods. The collaboration between users and developers combined with the openly shared data makes the spread and use of technologies more efficient, faster and much cheaper than in research and development departments (R & D ) of traditional companies.

This DIY is a challenge for established institutions including high-tech companies such as pharmaceutical companies or future technology manufacturers. Businesses are generally slow to notice this development and skilled employees are leaving the companies and seek for new opportunities and work environments in the open communities. For companies to grow with this new challenge, to avoid disruption and allow people to transition between institutional work and community work more easily a form of collaboration would be desirable.

However, it is unclear how such cooperation between companies and DIY communities could be shaped, because the classic open innovation models are not applicable - the communities can not be controlled from the outside (Boudreau & Lakhani, 2009). New participation and work concepts that go beyond open innovation towards true collaboration need to be developed. In such a collaboration questions of appreciation of knowledge, remuneration and co-determination opportunities have to be addressed.

This project puts members of DIY communities in the focus and aims to identify their needs for a successful collaboration with companies and institutions. The research question is accordingly: "Which co-determination and work contexts do companies have to offer members of DIY communities in order to establish a mutually beneficial collaboration? Which shifts in power result from this? "The possibilities, limits and potentials of the interaction between DIY communities and companies are explored.
