| Tiivistelmä: | Based on four in-depth case studies of firms involved with open source (here as: o-s.) software, this paper explores how firms make use of o-s. communities (as: comms.), and how that use is associated with their business models. Three themes, that is. accessing, aligning and assimilating, are developed for how the firms relate to the external knowledge created in the comms. For each theme, an argument is made about the tactics associated with each theme and their positive and negative consequences. The findings are related to the literature on the open and distributed nature of innovation etc. The case studies referred are MySQL, Cendio, Roxen, and SOT. |
