Abstract
In this seminar, I will build on a few ideas from our forthcoming book “Data Rules: Reinventing the Market Economy”. The book traces the social history, economic motives, and technological evolution behind the data revolution and associates it with current economic and organizational transformations. The functional logic of traditional markets and organizations is different from the rules of data production, which consists prevalently of an endless series of exchanges and interactions. I will examine the role that data perform in contemporary institutional contexts in some detail and then link data to work practices and the diffusion of platforms and ecosystems.
