Deciphering competition on collaborative platforms
In their article entitled "Peer competition on collaborative platforms: a lever for acquiring expert status", Romain Zerbib and Olivier Mamavi explore the mechanisms by which collaborative platforms foster expert recognition. Using a sociomaterial approach and experimentation on the Management & Datascience platform, they shed light on the impact of technological properties and competitive interactions on the emergence of experts. Their study reveals that peer competition acts as a partial mediator between digital affordances and the acquisition of expertise, providing empirical evidence of the importance of social relations in the process of professional recognition.
