What is driving recent growth in OECD countries? Why is it that their levels of GDP per capita are no longer converging? Why is it that some countries, operating at the technological frontier, where advances are difficult, appear to be widening the gap? Whether or not it is appropriate to speak of a "new economy", innovation and technology play crucial roles. This study shows that success requires not some silver bullet, but a range of complementary factors that support the innovation-intensive growth exemplified by new information and communication technologies such as the Internet and Internet applications like electronic commerce. Supportive policies include those favourable to innovative start-ups and to financial systems able to support them, those that facilitate the reorganisation required to reap the full benefits of ICT, regulatory and institutional frameworks that facilitate links between science and industry, and efforts to train and obtain the necessary human capital, as well as public support for basic scientific research. While this study is far from exhaustive, it represents an important step in understanding the conditions under which economies flourish.

"What makes a global corporation give away its prized intellectual property? Why are Ivy League universities allowing anyone to take their courses for free? What drives a farmer in rural Africa to share his secrets with his competitors? A collection of hactivists, hobbyists, forum-users and maverick leaders are leading a quiet but unstoppable revolution. They are sharing everything they know, and turning knowledge into action in ways that were unimaginable even a decade ago. Driven by technology, and shaped by common values, going ‘open' has transformed the way we live. It's not so much a question of if our workplaces, schools and colleges go open, but when. Packed with illustration and advice, this entertaining read by learning futurist, David Price, argues that ‘open' is not only affecting how we are choosing to live, but that it's going to be the difference between success and failure in the future."

L'utilisation actuelle des nouvelles technologies dans le monde recompose d'anciennes servitudes telles que la surveillance généralisée ou le brouillage entre l'économique et le politique. Pour défendre sa thèse, l'auteur met en avant cinq paradoxes de la Silicon Valley et retrace les usages contemporains du concept de féodalisme chez des penseurs comme Habermas, Supiot ou Graeber. ©Electre 2020

L'uberisation est un néologisme qui décrit un phénomène récent dont la société de technologie californienne Uber est l'inspiratrice directe et la parfaite illustration. Uber a développé une plateforme mobile de mise en relation d'utilisateurs avec des chauffeurs équipés de véhicules de tourisme (VTC) géolocalisés en temps réel. Toute la relation depuis la commande jusqu’au paiement est dématérialisée, plus de frais d’approche, plus d’attentes interminables pour trouver un taxi. Le succès est tellement fulgurant que Uber est disponible dans plus de 250 villes et bouleverse l’ordre établi des taxis dans la plupart des mégalopoles ! L’uberisation de l’économie, c’est ce phénomène généralisé de « disruption destructrice » valable quelle que soit l’industrie balayée, dépossédée, siphonnée le plus souvent par une startup « venue de la périphérie » qui redistribue violemment « les cartes et les territoires » d’un marché. L’uberisation est-elle un progrès ou bien un déclin de l’économie contemporaine ? Les startups du numérique sont-elles créatrices de valeur pour l’économie ? Quelles sont les conséquences sur l’emploi de l’uberisation ? Quelles sont les stratégies à mettre en œuvre pour se prémunir d’une uberisation inéluctable ? Voici les problématiques qui sont traitées dans ce livre où les auteurs ont aussi invité des personnalités remarquables du monde académique, de l’entreprise et de l’entreprenariat pour décrypter l’uberisation et ses conséquences récentes…
