SUMMARY:Thesis defense "FabLabs\, a global and growing network of
 collaborative organizations:  an analysis of intra and inter-organizational
 coordination modes"
DESCRIPTION:This thesis contributes to the understanding of the
 organizational phenomenon of FabLabs\, which aims to democratize personal
 digital manufacturing and promote knowledge sharing. To this end\, we
 investigate the modes of coordination that have emerged in this global
 network of local collaborative organizations\, whose number has grown
 rapidly and continuously since 2005. Our work addresses both the
 intra-organizational level (a FabLab as an organization) and the
 inter-organizational level (the FabLab network as a whole).\nIt builds on
 the literature relative to the modes of coordination in communities of
 knowledge\, and in particular communities of practice\, in the context of
 collective management of common goods&nbsp\;as well as in
 inter-organizational networks. We have adopted a comprehensive approach
 based on a participatory observation posture. Our work is based on three
 case studies (one on the FabLab Artilect and two on the Global FabLab
 Network) and sheds light on the modes of coordination&nbsp\;within and
 between FabLabs\,&nbsp\;with two main contributions.\nWe show that the
 principles shared in a collaborative network can be structuring for
 organizational configurations that are otherwise diverse. Also\, we
 highlight that in the observed context\, two processes of structural
 fragmentation appear at both the intra and inter-organizational levels. The
 first process operates according to a core-periphery logic. The second
 process results in the formation of thematic and\, in some cases\,
 geographical proximity sub-groups. Our work suggests that these processes
 can help preserve collaborative dynamics despite the growth of the
 organization when "bridge members" are each active in both the core and one
 of the subgroups.\n&nbsp\;\nTo participate in visio-conference\nMeeting
