Issues of Control Across Models Sample Clauses

Issues of Control Across Models. There is also the question of how a centralized management style inherently limits the community’s potential. Returning to the adaptive cycle model, centralized authority rooted in the institution represents a pyramidal hierarchical structure; the institution outweighs the crowd. Even if the power is shared between all stakeholders, the institution is still represented by one, or a few individuals and the power dynamic is skewed in comparison to a crowd of dozens or even hundreds. This power balance is evident in interviews with volunteers.

Without shared power in the community the model of sustainability simply does not hold over time. Project manager control over institutional goals is also considered essential for the proper distribution of resources. There is a conflict involved with allowing increased control over the direction of a project or the training and development of volunteers to be handed over to volunteer participants. The resources dedicated to the project aside from labor largely come from the institution and so control over what gets accomplished and how is something the institution has a vested interest in. The Spotlight on Play Bills project received funding for digitization and crowd sourcing because it fit within the mission of the British Library's Digital Scholarship and Printed Heritage department;435 however, if the crowd itself is entirely responsible for the direction of the project, then it risks falling outside the institution’s scope. This is because the institution would not...
