Abstract

In recent years, the concept of community attracted a renewed interest among scholars focusing on Internet economics. Radically new models of production, information and distribution emerged, which centered on co-operation within communities featuring evolutionary frontiers and offering efficient alternatives to traditional organizations. Multiple definitions and characterizations have been proposed to account for the economic and social dynamics fuelling these restructurations; Beyond these analyses, on-line communities embody the operationalization and constant redefinition of social networks in a strategic action perspective. The ability of such communities to organize and to grow relies on the command of a managerial and instrumental dimension which has seldom been studied.
