Abstract

In this chapter we study the issue of governance in social networks and communities of practice by examining three typical instances: the self-governed network, the lead organization-governed network, and the network administrative organization. Through this classification, we consider whether governance is actually based on ethical and democratic decision-making by social network and/or professional community members. We will show that in all the above cases, the assumption that governance that is based on altruism in partnerships, equal decision-making power, and equity in the sharing of relational benefits is distorted.
