  In this article, we analyse how decentralised digital infrastructures can
provide a fundamental change in the structure and dynamics of organisations.
The works of R.H.Coase and M. Olson, on the nature of the firm and the logic of
collective action, respectively, are revisited under the light of these
emerging new digital foundations. We also analyse how these technologies can
affect the fundamental assumptions on the role of organisations (either private
or public) as mechanisms for the coordination of labour. We propose that these
technologies can fundamentally affect: (i) the distribution of rewards within
an organisation and (ii) the structure of its transaction costs. These changes
bring the potential for addressing some of the trade-offs between the private
and public sectors.
