Adhocracy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adhocracy is an open source software developed by Friedrich Lindenberg as part of his bachelor thesis together with Martin Storbeck for online participation for organizations and institutions. Main developer Friedrich Lindenberg worked on the project from 2009 to 2011; the software is currently being maintained by the Liquid Democracy eV association.

function

With Adhocracy, organizations and companies enable people involved to participate in decision-making processes through an online discourse.

This article or the following section is not adequately provided with supporting documents ( e.g. individual evidence ). Information without sufficient evidence could be removed soon. Please help Wikipedia by researching the information and including good evidence.

The software can be individually adapted to the needs and structures of a group (e.g. political parties, NGOs, companies or state actors) through a wide range of setting options. Unlike in forums, the discourses can lead to votes that - depending on the setting - lead to binding decisions or recommendations for action.

In addition, by entering the current resolution of an organization once - for example the statutes, a program or a future strategy - as a basis for norms, the votes can always refer to the current status quo of the organization. The discourse can be conducted both internally and externally through authorization settings.

Delegated voting

In principle, it is possible for users to use the principle of delegated voting to transfer their vote to other users on a topic-specific basis (also called voting delegation or liquid democracy ). However, the software provides for deactivating the option of delegating votes (which is displayed as “Delegations are disabled” or “Delegations are inactive” in the user interface). This possibility of deactivating delegated voting or liquid democracy was often used, including by the party “ Die Linke ” and the participation project on Tempelhofer Feld . Tobias Hößl, active in the state working group on media and network policy of the Bavarian Greens, comments that delegated voting seems to play a rather secondary role in the actual areas of application of Adhocracy.

etymology

The Engl. The term “adhocracy” (dt. Adhocracy ) is derived from the Latin “ad hoc” (“out of the moment”) and the Greek “κρατεῖν” (“rule”). Adhocracy defines the opposite of a bureaucracy. The word was first used in 1970 by Alvin Toffler and subsequently specified by Henry Mintzberg established in management theory.
