“…First, we identify new ways of adopting OSS as compared to Hauge et al [99] and Ziemer et al [216]. In [99], we present the four roles of OSS integrator, OSS participant, OSS provider, and inner source software participant as possible ways of approaching OSS.…”

“…In [99], we present the four roles of OSS integrator, OSS participant, OSS provider, and inner source software participant as possible ways of approaching OSS. In [216], we present cases from companies which adopt OSS through development with OSS practices and tools, development with OSS products, and development of OSS products. Second, we have a somewhat broader scope than Dahlander and Magnusson [49,50], who focus on the relationships between organizations and OSS communities.…”

Context: Open source software (OSS) is changing the way organizations develop, acquire, use, and commercialize software. Objective: This paper seeks to identify how organizations adopt OSS, classify the literature according to these ways of adopting OSS, and with a focus on software development evaluate the research on adoption of OSS in organizations. Method: Based on the systematic literature review method we reviewed publications from 24 journals and seven conference and workshop proceedings, published between 1998 and 2008. From a population of 24289 papers, we identified 112 papers which provide empirical evidence on how organizations actually adopt OSS. Results: We show that adopting OSS involves more than simply using OSS products. We moreover provide a classification framework consisting of six distinctly different ways in which organizations adopt OSS. This framework is used to illustrate some of the opportunities and challenges organizations meet when approaching OSS, to show that OSS can be adopted successfully in different ways, and to organize and review existing research. We find that this research does not sufficiently describe the context of the organizations studied. It is furthermore fragmented and fails to benefit fully from related research fields. Finally, we present directions for future research.

“…The ways companies approach OSS development are diverse [28] and several business models are described in the literature [10,14,17,20]. Four such models are the value-adding service enabler, market creation, leveraging community development and leveraging the OSS brand [10].…”

Abstract. Even though companies like Sun, IBM, MySQL and others have released several commercial Open Source Software (OSS) products, little evidence exist of how to successfully launch such products and establish a living community around them. This paper presents a case study from a small software company succeeding at establishing a business model and a vivid community around their own OSS products. Based on this case study, the paper presents lessons learned which could help other OSS providers.

“…O SCA evoluiu para uma alternativa viável perante o software proprietário em vários mercados [12,42,17,7,24,32]. Modelos de negócios baseado em SCA são criados expandindo o mercado de software, com isso soluções são disponibilizadas a custos antes inatingíveis para muitas empresas [34], além de diminuir o aprisionamento tecnológico, a dependência de fornecedor e os custos, tornando-se uma potencialidade econômica e uma opção viável e promissora para as empresas.…”

RESUMOApesar da crescente importância estratégica das tecnologias envolvendo software de código aberto (SCA), as empresas enfrentam dificuldades e desafios no desenvolvimento de estratégias para adoção, pois são diversos os fatores que devem ser tratados. O arcabouço TOE-Technology, Organization and Environment foi utilizado na elaboração de um modelo para estudar a influência dos fatores considerados pelas empresas de TI de Minas Gerais na adoção de SCA, especificamente na forma de adoção e modelo de negócio. A coleta dos dados foi feita por questionário, aplicado como survey eletrônico junto aos profissionais de empresas de TI em Minas Gerais. A partir dos dados coletados o modelo proposto foi validado com auxílio da modelagem de equacões estruturais. O resultado indicou que os três grupos de fatores exercem influência significativa na forma de adoção, sendo que os organizacionais e tecnológicos apresentaram maior efeito. Para os modelos de negócio, somente os fatores ambientais apresentaram influência. O fator tecnológico apontado como maior influenciador foi "Redução de custos de hardware e software com a implantação da tecnologia". Já entre os fatores organizacionais, o maior influenciador foi "Flexibilidade da atual infraestrutura de TI". Por fim, entre os fatores ambientais o item que exerce maior influência foi "Relatos de histórias de sucesso do uso da tecnologia". No cenário das empresas de TI de MG, verificou-se a adoção de SCA para o desenvolvimento de softwares, seja pelo uso de componentes de SCA em produtos de software ou pelo uso de ferramentas de desenvolvimento que são SCA. ABSTRACTAlthough the use of open-source software (OSS) is a reality for information-technology companies, there has been little academic research on the factors impacting the process by which OSS is adopted, the way OSS is adopted, and the business models as employed. The TOE (Technology, Organization and Environment) framework has been used to study the influence of technological, organizational, and environmental factors considered by companies when adopting OSS. In this work, we collected data through online surveys answered by workers in IT companies in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The proposed model for determining the impact of each factor on the adoption of OSS and on the business model practiced by IT companies was evaluated by using structural equations. The results show that three groups of factors impact the way of OSS adoption. Organizational and technological factors are the most relevant, whereas for business models only environmental factors are relevant. The most relevant technological factor identified is "reduced hardware and software costs"; the most relevant organizational factor is "flexibility of IT structure"; and the most relevant environmental factor is "reports of successful use of OSS". We verified that IT companies in Minas Gerais use OSS in software development, either by incorporating OSS components into their software products or by employing OSS tools for software development.
