La división del trabajo y la producción voluntaria

Giampaolo Garzarelli

Resumen


El objetivo de este trabajo es el de revisar algunas caracteríticas organizacionales de la producción voluntaria tales como las del código abierto, de las profesiones y de las comunidades científicas. Para hacer esto, el trabajo considera la producción como división del trabajo en lugar de considerarla como una función de producción. El hallazgo consiste en que la producción voluntaria exhibe: (1) la contribución de esfuerzo en lugar de la de productos; (2) la auto-selección en la contribución del esfuerzo; (3) una redundante división del trabajo caracterizada por un aprender haciendo social; (4) una coordinación jerárquia formal e informal.


Palabras clave
