This paper makes a theoretical contribution to the tacit dimension of knowledge management (KM), focusing on the role of Information Systems (IS) in the production of tacit knowledge within knowledge-based firms. It argues that the crucial function of tacit knowledge in the creation of organisational knowledge comes from the way IS favour the adopt...

The paper is dedicated to Suzanne de Brunhoff’s monetary thought and shows how her analysis of very concrete monetary and financial problems of her time led her to develop the most innovative contributions to Marxist theory of money since classical Marxism. Concepts such as non-contemporaneity of capitalism with itself, pseudo-social validation, co...

This paper analyzes the evolution of internal management work within large corporations from the end of the nineteenth century to the late 1960s. It argues that internal financialization is the prior condition for external financialization, as expressed notably in the shareholder value that is the focus of most theoretical and empirical analyses of...

Digital platforms turn traditional approaches of the firm, which relied on the wage relation to explain the major difference between firm and market, upside down and underline the advantages of coordination through organization over coordination through market. This study aims to propose a definition of the firm able to integrate, besides the integ...

This paper aims at preparing the grounds for the money of the common problematics through questions crowded out by mainstream theory of the commons. Our analysis of the relation between money and theory of the common is divided into three parts : in the first part, we make a critique of the theory of the commons in which money and labour are strang...

D3.4 provides a background for building a framework for implementing and federating digital complementary currency experiences, and for improving their social benefits. Enabling communities to manage exchange using alternative digital social currencies as new tools for growing a civic sharing economy, including a strong role for interoperable digit...

The introduction of New Technologies within industries and the resulting changes in labour have inspired management models that mark a break with the traditional methods of scientific management. But a disagreement remains among the labour theorists on the nature and significance of the breaking with Taylorism. However the various definitions of Ta...

From his early economic works on, Marx conceived the labour of any kind of society as a set of production activities and analysed the historical modes of production as specific ways of distributing and exchanging these activities. Political economy on the contrary considers the labour only under the form of its product, and the exchange of products...

This paper provides a refutation of the “absolute immizeration” doctrine that S. Hollander attributes to Marx, by emphasizing the Marxian original categories and laws of capitalist production in order to base Marx’s opposition to this doctrine on his more profound opposition to Classics about the law of supply and demand for labor. The paper proce...

Money in the Grundrisse The chapter on Money in the Grundrisse shows clearly that the presentation of the nature, properties and functions of money is opposed to the monetary theory of Utopian socialism. Marx emphasizes easily that the exchange value spontaneously objectifies itself in a money distinct from the commodity, but he needs to establish...

The aim of this paper is to show how Marx's Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, which stand as his first systematic study of classical economists, transform the concept of labour as it had been developed by political economy against mercantilism and physiocracy. The current interpretations of the Marxian theory of value are first reviewed...
