Conclusions and Policies. .This book tackles the concept of openness (as in open source software, open access and free culture), from a critical political economy perspective to consider its encroachment by capitalist corporations, but also how it advances radical alternatives to cognitive capitalism. Drawing on four case studies, Corporate Capitalism’s Use of Openness will add to discussion on open source software, open access content platforms, open access publishing, and open university courses. These otherwise disparate cases share two fundamental features: informational capitalist corporations base their successful business models on unpaid productive activities, play, attention, knowledge and labour, and do so crucially by resorting to ideological uses of concepts such as “openness”, “communities” and “sharing”. The authors present potential solutions and alternative regulations to counter these exploitative and alienating business models, and to foster digital knowledge commons, ranging from co-ops and commons-based peer production to state agencies' platforms. Their research and findings will appeal to students, academics and activists around the world in fields such as sociology, economy, media and communication, library and information science, political sciences and technology studies.Dynamics of Virtual WorkIndustrial organizationEconomic sociologyIndustrial sociologyMass mediaCommunicationIndustrial Organizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W31010Organizational Studies, Economic Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22020Sociology of Workhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22240Media Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22110Industrial organization.Economic sociology.Industrial sociology.Mass media.Communication.Industrial Organization.Organizational Studies, Economic Sociology.Sociology of Work.Media Sociology.658.408338.6Lund Arwidauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut935183Zukerfeld Marianoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910380744203321Corporate Capitalism's Use of Openness2106197UNINA
