		<description><![CDATA[Oxfam Novib would like to know the impact of their messages on the music festivals of Lowlands and Mystery Land. The European Centre for the Experience Economy has been asked to direct this research. Since 2004 Oxfam Novib has chosen for "presence" on the larger music and dance festivals as PinkPop, Lowlands, Mystery Land. The selected tools are lifestyle communication through a bar/restaurant with fair food, fresh juices, produced through fair trade. On Mystery Land 2007 Oxfam organized creative workshops to create your own T shirt.  In the context of accountability and improving the professionality of the intended experiences is it important to know what the emotional impact will be of these activities .What will be the "share of heart" of these experiences? What will be the impact on brand awareness and brand preference for Oxfam Novib? What will be the impact on actual buying behaviour? Will people buy more consciously fair trade food?

		<description><![CDATA[Immaterial production deals with non-rival or even anti-rival goods that can be produced through the self-assemblage of interconnected brains, the result of which can then be made 'universally available'. This works without any problem for software and what is generally called 'content'.
But, what about immaterial value that is intrinsically interconnected to physical products, which are often 'rival' and in any case need systematic cost-recovery mechanisms? Any physical production of course has design aspects which can be produced through peer production, i.e. through open design communities that make their innovations universally accessible, just as software or content is.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>But where as non-rival production is compatible with the non-reciprocal mode of peer production (i.e. voluntary participation), this will usually not be the case for physical production, and therefore, at this stage, reciprocal or market-based mechanisms are needed. Of course, it is theoretically possible to assume that material goods be produced and used according to &#8216;communist&#8217; principle, but I believe this is not the order of the day in the short term, and perhaps not even in the long term, because of our newfound sensitivity to the limitations of our natural world.<br />
We therefore need to imagine mechanisms that combine:<br />
1)    non-reciprocal peer production of designs for immaterial production</p>
<p>2)    a separate system for physical production that relies, cooperates and supports open design communities<br />
Eric von Hippel has already described the emergence of such processes of built-only capitalism in his book, Democratizing Innovation and the P2P Foundation monitors this emergence closely as well.</p>
<p>The relation between such corporate entities, and the open design communities could be ideally modeled on the benefit-sharing practices that are characteristic of businesses operating around the Linux commons. Better yet, we can imagine different formal governance models for such entities, such as cooperatives.</p>
<p>We are now at the phase of emergence of peer production, and even more so at the level of open design communities, but nevertheless, this is the key issue of social transformation. Any transformation to the dominance of a dual format that combines open design communities with a more just and equitable format for physical production will be depending, not just on political and social struggles and the social balance of power, but also on a number of objective trends. We believe that the same trends which have led to the distribution of computer power, are starting to manifest themselves as a general characteristic of the means of production. We believe that economies of scale will be replaced by economies of scope through the hyper-productivity of the collective learning derivative of open design communities. Just as the cost of energy and raw materials may be expected to rise, so may the cost of capital goods be expected to diminish dramatically in the coming decades, giving rise to the development of cheaper and modular production machinery, that can co-exist with both globalized coordination and relocalized production.</p>
<p>This will mean that the self-assemblage of immaterial resources can be matched by self-assemblage of physical production resources, but nevertheless, at this stage, we see a dual regime as inevitable because of the issues of cost-recovery in the physical sphere.</p>
<p>It is important to consider the mutual interdependence of the immaterial and material spheres of production, not only in a hypothetical future of reorganization of the mode of production, but today, through the already existing interplay between peer production and capitalism.</p>
<p>Peer production is a mode of voluntary contribution that is dependent on the existing surplus of the current political economy. It is only viable because the current system has created sufficient interstices where people can operate outside of the commodity and wage logic, but only as an &#8216;aspect of their lives&#8217;.<br />
But the opposite is just as true: innovation is becoming increasingly social, a function of the general intellect, an emergent  property of the networks of cooperation in which most of us (and not just in western countries)  are increasingly inserted. This means that capitalism is increasingly dependent on the value creation and innovation that are the positive externalities of social cooperation</style>

After a zindering night of music and allnight dancing people didnot want to leave "their place" what has become the most attractive place for modern dance music over the last 4 years. The building blocks of the succes have been the sharp and attractive programming of upcoming dj's. Not so well known but dedicated to their new form of music. The location on top of the post cs building with a great view over Amsterdam, plus the attractive and no nonsense food, and not to forget the team that the people behind 11 have build over the past period. A place where people felt home and wanted to spent their time. Writing this I feel sad that we cannot go there anymore and will not be able to invite friends and guests to this remarquable place. Thanks for what 11 has given us. There is a lot to learn from these guys how to create a social meeting place wit a mix of contempary culture,  a true meaningful place.<img width="473" height="353" align="left" id="image1764" alt="IMG_0329.JPG" src="http://www.experience-economy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/IMG_0329.JPG" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<span lang="EN-US"><font size="3"></font><font face="Calibri">The thing that stuck with me most of many of the cases was the importance of ‘externalities’. Externalities are usually defined as third-party or spillover effects that happen in economic activity. It was remarkable in how many cases that were discussed and presented during the Experience Academy this type of externalities was involved. It could be that these are an important part of experiences in general and that they have to be taken into account if one wants to understand what the actual value of the experience is.
</font></span>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span lang="EN-US"><font size="3"></font><font face="Calibri">For example in the case presented by Cliff Crosby, Nokia, in the discussion of how they train their employees, Cliff shared with us that all employees get 6 weeks of training , and in Shanghai even 12, of which 4 weeks are dedicated to teaching them the English language. Of course these language skills are not only useful at the job. If you teach people English, you give them a life skill. Teaching individuals something relevant to them, whether that individual buys from you or works for you, makes you meaningful to their lives.<br />
</font></span><span lang="EN-US"><font size="3"></font><font face="Calibri">Another example was shown by Mark Hansen in the Lego-case. Lego Factory is a product of Lego for which the users themselves upload their designs and they and other users can order the exact amount legobricks that are needed for building that design. The tracking of Lego Factory shows that kids who post their designs, also become better builders. Again: they learn. In fact, they aspire to be better and learn, which makes the activity they are involved in in Lego Factory a so-called Serious Leisure activity.<br />
</font></span><span lang="EN-US"><font size="3"></font><font face="Calibri">In both cases the interaction is more valuable because of spillover effects. In the process of doing business, some added value is created, which may make the experience even more meaningful than it already was. However, spillover effects can also refer to the parties involved. For example, what Nokia did, was sharing everything they had learned and developed (manuals, personnel training etc) with their business partners. So for example 50 store managers of AT&#038;T have been trained in the Nokia Flagshipstore. They could have kept everything for themselves of course but the sharing of immaterial things like information or knowledge can help you provide much more value in relationships, without any additional cost (after all you already were sitting on the information).<br />
</font></span><span lang="EN-US"><font size="3"></font><font face="Calibri">Yet another example was given by Olaf Boswijk, who presented the Red Bull Music Academy case. First of all, this Academy takes place in a different city every year. For the RBMA in Rome and Cape Town, the organization had to make the old buildings that were going to be used completely ready for the Academy. After the Academy was over, these buildings were donated to the respective cities, so a new purpose could be found for them. Also, there is an extensive online archive with unique videos, photos etc that have been made during the Academies. One might think why the RBMA would give away all this valuable material for free. However, just like MIT with their MIT Open Courseware discovered: people don’t come to the RBMA, or for that matter MIT, for the information. They come for the experience. But in the meantime, all this information is available for everyone to enjoy and learn from.<br />
</font></span><span lang="EN-US"><font size="3"></font><font face="Calibri">My point is: in the experience economy we have already learned that value is not just created in the transaction from the moment the customer walks in until the moment he has paid and walks out, but extends way before and after these moments. This is the difference between the typical service value chain and the experience value chain. But in these examples we see that the value of experiences can include positive externalities that are often neglected. The value can extend beyond the value that is explicitly offered, to include value that is created as a side-effect (like improved language or building skills), and it can extend beyond the person (customer, employee) that is focused on, to include other third parties, like the partners of Nokia or everyone who is interested in the information that RBMA and MIT offer online. By including these extensions of value, one might get a better perspective on the actual value that is created in the experiences.<br />
