Mass collaboration

1 Mass collaboration is a form of collective action that occurs when large numbers of

people work independently on a single project, often modular in its nature. Such

projects typically take place on the internet using social software and computer-

supported collaboration tools such as wiki technologies, which provide a potentially

infinite hypertextual substrate within which the collaboration may be situated.


Mass collaboration - Cooperation

1 Mass collaboration differs from mass cooperation in that the creative acts

taking place require the joint development of shared

understandings. Conversely, group members involved in cooperation

needn't engage in a joint negotiation of understanding; they may simply

execute instructions willingly.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-mass-collaboration-toolkit.html


1 Another important distinction is the borders around which a mass cooperation can be

defined. Due to the extremely general characteristics and lack of need for fine grain negotiation and consensus when cooperating, the entire internet, a city and even the global

economy may be regarded as examples of mass cooperation. Thus mass collaboration is more refined and complex in its process and

production on the level of collective engagement.


Mass collaboration - Online forum

1 Although an online discussion is certainly collaborative, mass collaboration differs from a large forum, email list, bulletin

board, chat session or group discussion in that the discussion's structure of

separate, individual posts generated through turn-taking communication

means the textual content does not take the form of a single, coherent body


Mass collaboration - Coauthoring

1 This interdependence of collaborative sites coauthored by a large number

of people is what gives a mass collaboration one of its most

distinguishing features - a coherent collaboration emerging from the

interrelated collection of its parts.


Mass collaboration - Business

1 In the books Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything and MacroWikinomics-Rebooting

business and the world, Don Tapscott and Anthony Williams list five

powerful new ideas that the new art and science of wikinomics is based

on:



1 In the financial industry, companies such as the Open Models Valuation

Company (OMVCO) also employ mass collaboration to improve the

accuracy of financial forecasts.


Mass collaboration - Non-textual mass collaboration

1 Most "anonymous" folk songs and "traditional" tunes are also arguably

sites of long term mass collaboration.

Mass collaboration - The role of discussion

1 It is of course debatable that discussion is optimal, as most (if not

all) mass collaborations have discussions associated with the

content being developed


Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything

1 'Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything' (ISBN 1591841380) is a book by Don Tapscott and Anthony D.

Williams (author)|Anthony D. Williams, first published in December 2006. It explores how some company (law)|

companies in the early 21st century have used mass collaboration and open-source

technology, such as wikis, to be successful.


Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything - Concepts

1 The difference however is that instead of an organized business

body brought into being specifically for a unique function, mass

collaboration relies on free individual agents to come together and cooperate to improve a given operation or solve a problem



1 The book also discusses seven new models of mass

collaboration, including:



1 * Peering: For example, page 24, Marketocracy employs a form of peering in a mutual fund (Ticker Symbol: MOFQX)

that harnesses the collective intelligence of the investment community...Though not completely open source, it is an

example of how meritocratic, peer-to-peer models are seeping into an industry where conventional wisdom

favors the lone super-star stock advisor.[http://books.google.com/books?id=-

1 * Ideagoras: For example, page 98, linking experts with unsolved research and development problems.

The company InnoCentive is a consulting group that encapsulates the idea of

ideagoras.[http://books.google.com/books?id=-WUhErZgmpoCpg=PA24lpg=PA24dq=marketocracy+wikinomicssource=blots=i8SZ2y6jOlsig=sTfY4k8q5rvKmWq7aSToxE5uT8khl=enei=VElzSqTkBcuWlAei0sDXCgsa=Xoi=book_resultct=resultresnum=3#v=onepageq=ideagorasf=false Wikinomics: How Mass

1 * Prosumers: For example, page 125, where it discusses the social Video Game Second Life as

being created by its customers. When customers are also the producers, you have the phenomenon:

Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything - Coase's Law

1 A firm will tend to expand until the cost of carrying out an extra transaction on the

open market become equal to the costs of organizing the same transaction within

the firm. Thus, the authors think that with the costs of communicating dramatically dropping, firms who do not change their current structures will perish. Companies

who utilize mass collaboration will dominate their respective markets.
