"Platform and Collective Intelli-gence" by Antoine Henry explores the role of tech-nology, social practices, and communication in the evolution of organizations, a concept that has gained in importance in recent years as businesses continue to operate in increasingly digital environments.
Henry provides a theoretical and practical analysis of recent trends in organizational design and forms of group coordination through Information and Communications Technology (ICT), particularly the rise of the "platform" organization. This study employs a range of theoretical frameworks, including organizational sociology, organizational communication, and cybernetic systems theory, to uncover the implications of these recent developments for interrelationships between technology, human behavior, and societal change.
In particular, the book looks at how emerging platforms and collective intelligence shapes the ways in which people connect and communicate on a global scale, as well as in how these interactions can lead to the formation and disruption of social norms. By examining the complex web of interdependencies between technologies, sociocultural practices, and the transformation of economic and political structures, Henry's analysis allows us to better understand the contemporary social and technological realities.
This groundbreaking work will make an invaluable contribution to interdisciplinary scholarship concerned with issues of communication and information technology in organizations, as it offers a broad-based critical assessment of contemporary trends in the management of business practice across private, public, and non-profit sectors. Additionally, readers will gain new insights into the challenges faced by those who navigate the changes being wrought in our societies by new infrastructures, communications systems, and technologies.

Описание книги от Antoine Henry
Organizations, both private and public, are now evolving in a globalized information society that has been accelerated by digitization. They find themselves drawn into a spiral of transformations fueled by the incessant reinvention of information and communication technologies (ICT) that are changing digital uses and practices. They transform through the mediating action of ICTs, work activities and associated action situations. <p>Platform and Collective Intelligence analyzes a specific declination of an organization that has become irreversibly reticular: the platform organization. The network, at the heart of this new conception, proposes a model combining cybernetics and computing. The organization can thus be seen as an interface for contact, via its information systems, for employees or citizens, whatever their geographical location. <p>With a view going beyond technocentrism and technological determinism, this book combines collective intelligence and sociotechnics with the platform to arrive at the notion of organizational experience.
