Organizational Democracy Revisited
Scaling and member heterogeneity have often been linked to governance failures in cooperatives, yet newly emerging platform cooperatives may hold the potential to overcome this challenge. To assess innovative approaches to cooperative governance, the study proposes that organizational democracy needs to be understood as a multidimensional concept. Using the case study of Honeypot, a platform cooperative of online sex workers, it is found that rep…
Using the institutional grammar to understand collective resource management in a heterogenous cooperative facing external shocks
Worker cooperatives in the gig economy can involve large and heterogeneous memberships, which makes them vulnerable to member opportunism depleting collective resources. External shocks may present another challenge for collective resource management. This raises the question of how heterogeneous cooperatives design rules to mitigate opportunistic behavior and whether these rules evolve in the face of external shocks. We study the case of Smart B…
Silicon law of oligarchy
Platform cooperatives that are owned and governed by gig workers themselves have been proposed as a silver bullet to improve these workers' influence on organizational decision-making. However, they remain relatively rare compared with dominant investor-owned platforms. Traditionally, worker cooperatives strive for alternative organizing based on the ideal of workplace democracy but are often faced with unequal participation by members in decisio…
Bringing back the national to the study of globally circulating policy ideas
Recently proliferating ‘smart city’ building efforts have lent themselves well to interpretations through the lens of the policy mobilities literature. Applying this perspective, studies have insightfully shown how policymaking centred around smart cities is at once a messy, networked process stretching across scales, while also manifesting itself in concrete practices shaped by territorial–regulatory contexts. Informed by empirical research on s…
