Our technological and organizational framework is more and more evolving 
to distributed networks, the new peer to peer relational dynamic becomes 
responsible for the direct social production of value, both through 
sharing networks (think Web 2.0) and through commons-oriented social 
production. (think Wikipedia or Linux) . These two models, respectively 
individual and community oriented, are creating two distinct business 
models (respectively the web 2.0 proprietary sharing platforms and the 
commons-oriented derivative business strategies already evident with 
open source software), two distinct property models (think Creative 
Commons vs. GPL), but are also, in one way or another, impacting all 
businesses and societal institutions. What happens to business 
strategies, when innovation shifts from individual entrepreneurs funded 
by capital in exchange for intellectual property, to become social, i.e. 
an emerging property of the networks themselves? Between the polarity of 
pure peer production and ‘pure hierarchical’ organizations, many hybrids 
will emerge, and the lecture will examine some of these adaptative 
practices by business organizations.
