Abstract

In this chapter we point out how the general dynamics of decentralization and digitalization aggregate in two distinct ideal types of value creation: one updates the firm-based mode of a top-down approach and the other represents an alternative mode of bottom-up coordination that is more community-driven. For each mode, we contrast the most prevalent approaches to integrating novel technologies such as 3D printing and link them to innovative concepts of production. Having offered this distinction, we elaborate on associated manufacturing constellations and discuss the potential impact of hybrid arrangements.
