Özet (Çeviri)
The thesis studies the interplay between technology and property rights in the production organization. In particular, we analyze the complementarities between these two domains. The first paper (Chapter 1) studies the concept of organizational forms, whose foundation is crucially based on the idea of institutional complementarities in the production organization. We point out that when the effect of property rights is not taken into account, technology alone entails unique solution to the problem of production organization. We claim that: (a) the asymmetry between the characteristics of labour and capital under the existing property relations, and (b) the importance of workers' preferences for different ways of production organization, should be taken into account when studying the organization of production. In so doing, we show that efficiency driven arguments on the relative success of different organizational forms are flawed. Therefore, progress in production organization should be described not as a linear path, but as a branching tree. The second paper (Chapter 2) applies the very same framework to the case of the knowledge economy. In other words, it attempts to provide an analytical framework to analyze organizational forms in the knowledge economy. By recourse to a formal model, we study the determinants of the distribution of alternative institutional arrangements in the knowledge economy. We argue that organizational ecology is mainly determined by knowledge network effects, and complementarities between intellectual property rights (IPRs) and technology. The last chapter (Chapter 3) is a short run view on the same issue. It studies the choice of alternative IPRs regimes and technology in business firms, taking into account their effects on the knowledge workers' skill acquisition. We argue that, at least in part, it has been the rising economic importance of knowledge that has brought an overreaching enclosure movement on it. Yet, IPRs regime protecting the knowledge base of firms may deprive knowledge workers of owning the intellectual assets developed in the production process. This development, in turn, (a) has damaging consequences on the knowledge workers' skills; thereby (b) the rise of a virtuous cycle between non-exclusive property rights and workers' skills is prevented.
