Constructing Grounded Theory: A Practical Guide through Qualitative Analysis

Open Innovation: The New Imperative for Creating and Profiting from Technology

Software vendors lack the perspective to develop software within a software ecosystem. The inability to function in a software ecosystem has already led to the demise of many software vendors, leading to loss of competition, intellectual property, and eventually jobs in the software industry. In this paper we present a research agenda on software ecosystems to study both the technical and the business aspects of software engineering in vibrant ecosystems. The results of such research enable software vendors to develop software that is adaptable to new business models and new markets, and to make strategic choices that help a software vendor to thrive in a software ecosystem.

A sense of community: A research agenda for software ecosystems

Software vendors and software service providers can no longer function without taking their software ecosystem into account. Software vendors presently face three challenges in regards to software ecosys- tems: (1) they require insight into software ecosystems, (2) they require insight into the possible survival strategies that exist for software ecosys- tem participants, and (3) they require an overview of possible ways in which the organization can open up to the software ecosystem without losing intellectual property. This paper addresses these needs and pro- vides an overview of the dening characteristics of software ecosystems. To illustrate these dening characteristics two case studies are provided.

Business Network Management as a Survival Strategy: A Tale of Two Software Ecosystems

Background The livelihood of an open source ecosystem is important to different ecosystem participants: software developers, end-users, investors, and participants want to know whether their ecosystem is healthy and performing well. Currently, there exists no working operationalization available that can be used to determine the health of open source ecosystems. Health is typically looked at from a project scope, not from an ecosystem scope. Objectives With such an operationalization, stakeholders can make better decisions on whether to invest in an ecosystem: developers can select the healthiest ecosystem to join, keystone organizers can establish which governance techniques are effective, and end-users can select ecosystems that are robust, will live long, and prosper. Method Design research is used to create the health operationalization. The evaluation step is done using four ecosystem health projects from literature. Results The Open Source Ecosystem Health Operationalization is provided, which establishes the health of a complete software ecosystem, using the data from collections of open source projects that belong to the ecosystem. Conclusion The groundwork is done, by providing a summary of research challenges, for more research in ecosystem health. With the operationalization in hand, researchers no longer need to start from scratch when researching open source ecosystems’ health.

Shades of gray: Opening up a software producing organization with the open software enterprise model

Currently, there is little understanding about how dierent types of software ecosystems must be governed for the preservation and improvement of ecosystem health. This paper explores the denition of software ecosystems and provides a classication model for software ecosystems. The classication model is applied to 19 cases previously explored in software ecosystem literature, and governance tools are ob- served for the dierent types of ecosystems. The governance tools are summarized in a governance model that, when used correctly, serves ecosystem coordinators in determining strategies to maintain and ulti- mately improve software ecosystem health.
