Description

"In this doctoral research, the governance form of the OCCs is explored. It applies to governance structure and its organizational and democratic logic and the combination to different forms, but also the contentions and tensions present in OCCs. In the analysis of governance, particular attention is given to the role of the providers of the platform of participation that hosts the participant’s interaction and the distribution of functions between the providers of the platform and the community of participants. Finally, analysis on how the different styles and organizational form of the providers relate to the community and grow out of the community is also developed.

Research question: If and how is the role of the platform provider and the relationship and hybridism established between the providers and the community of participants related to the community's growth?"
