| Title: | Open Source firms: from community to business |
| Authors: | Bonaccorsi, Andrea
Rossi, Cristina |
| Keywords: | community, firms, business, Open Source firms |
| Abstract: | A large body of literature is now addressing the Open
Source (OS) phenomenon. Economic scholars have
deeply investigated the incentives of people working within
OS community projects; the software production models in
absence of explicit hierarchical structures; the successful
dissemination of OS programs in environments dominated
by proprietary standards; the peculiarities in the
management of intellectual property within the OS
framework. Theoretical contributions have
coupled with the collection of extensive empirical evidence
mainly through surveys taken on individual developers. Nowadays a new trend is shaping the
OS movement: more and more firms are entering the
market by offering software solutions based on the new
paradigm (Open Source firms). |
