Despite the growing popular and academic recognition of the importance of commons-based, cooperative, and peer production, there is still relatively little sustained academic work that studies both the scope and micro-foundations of these phenomena. Together, the rise of commons-based collaboration and production encompasses a class of innovative and creative practices whose outputs could be freely available to support human development in a global, networked information economy and society. The Industrial Cooperation Project track focus on defining verticals within existing industries, and mapping those industries in terms of the degree to which open and commons-based practices are used as compared to proprietary approaches. This mapping would also analyze who was using such commons-based strategies, and provide initial pointers for future political alliances on issues of patent and copyright policy. We now call this track the Industrial Cooperation Project (ICP), which is the focus of this ICP Wiki. We aimed to capture the evolving constituencies strategies in a certain field/market towards closeness or openness and how they impact in innovation. We are also looking at the motivations and driving forces around this (is a demand pressure, change in government regulation, competition, new business models, etc?) |
