Ari Ezra Waldman: Digital Corporations as Organizations

  • New York University FH 318 (map)

Digital Corporations are, first and foremost, organizations. Pretty big ones too. They develop their own esprit des corps, bureaucratize in peculiar ways, and function along vectors not immediately intelligible to the outside observer. Digital corporations are the key transmitter for external feedback and policy input. Therefore, to regulate and improve the informational economy we must better understand the organizational reality of digital corporations. Professor Ari Ezra Waldman of the University of California, Irvine shares insights from years of fieldwork.
