But do these practices instrumentally advantage poor and marginalized populations? This book examines whether, for whom, and under what circumstances the free, networked, public sharing of information and communication resources contributes (or not) towards a process of positive social transformation. The contributors offer both theoretical and empirical analyses that cover a broad range of applications, emphasizing the underlying aspects of open innovations that are shared across contexts and domains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arul Chib\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262542323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262542326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Arul Chib","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906548945151,"sku":"9780262542326","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_591cf0b8-0141-4905-87a2-2390da3e940d.jpg?v=1748770753","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/critical-perspectives-on-open-development-arul-chib-9780262542326","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
