Descriptions

Prosumption has been prominent in human history. For more than ten thousands years humans in all societies provided the goods and serviced they needed for their families. They were both producers and consumer of essential goods and services. The industrial revolution, through the division of labor and through specialization, lead to the separation of production and consumption. Capital productivity increased dramatically. We now see how production and consumption are again integrated - fueled by the emergence of digital  platforms that afford users to be both producers and consumers of a variety of goods and services. The panel looks critically at the current state, understanding, and future prospects of prosumption - from both a research and practice perspective.

Moderator: Cathy Urquhart

Professor of Digital Business, Manchester Metropolitan University. Cathy is interested in how the digital can support communities and help solve societal challenges - thus digital technology for social change and sustainability supported by IT.
