Systematisierung und Bewertung von Beteiligungsprozessen und partizipativen Strukturen

"What can employee participation processes learn from Wikipedia and Obama's election campaign?" In an environment of steadily growing interest in collective intelligence in the society this dissertation deals with the systematization and assessment of participation processes based on collective intelligence. It follows a transdisciplinary approach and examines processes from three areas: Policy, Economy and New Media. Applying the theory of the psychology of personal constructs and the repertory grid interviewing technique a multi-dimensional model for participation processes is constructed. Using these defined dimensions then selected processes of all three areas are evaluated and compared. A special chapter deals with identifying gaps of economical participation processes and formulating hypotheses for scientific and applied improvement potential.
