Abstract

Immaterial labour, which is a sociological concept proposed by Maurizio Lazzarato and others for understanding today’s post-Fordism industry, refers to the process of producing the informational and cultural contents of a commodity. Through examining software development and the software-intensive society with the lens of immaterial labour, this paper aims to consider about establishing a new conceptual framework to promote innovation in actual software development projects.
