Her research focuses on data-driven innovation and its impact on organizations and society. Alaimo co-authored the book Data Rules: Reinventing the Market Economy with Jannis Kallinikos, which MIT Press published in 2024. She also serves as a senior editor of the European Journal of Information Systems. Summary In this episode of Talking About Platforms, Cristina Alaimo discusses her work on platforms as new enterprise forms mediating heterogeneous actors' participation, highlighting the central role of data in transforming social and economic relations. She introduces the concept of "de-centering," which distinguishes platform-based organizations from traditional organizations focused on boundaries, resources, and concentrated knowledge. Platforms, unlike traditional organizations, thrive on the dispersed and heterogeneous participation of actors, recentralizing data to produce value. The discussion explores the cognitive revolution in business and the importance of data as a resource of knowledge, not just economic value. Cristina emphasizes that data is not simply found or given by users but is actively made through the engineering of platform participation. She also touches on the impact of regulatory frameworks, like the EU's Digital Markets Act, on digital platforms, noting that their effect may be limited due to the dynamic nature of the environment and developments in AI. We delve into the complexities of privacy in the data economy, question the concept's operationalization, and advocate for a more specific discussion about citizen rights. Cristina calls for academia to avoid ideological battles and instead focus on understanding how data is produced, who benefits, and the various dimensions of data, urging a more nuanced approach to data economy discussions. Additionally, she highlights the need for a cautious yet flexible approach to regulation, considering the broad impact on knowledge access and societal norms.
