On the open design of tangible goods
TLDR
The analysis of the workings of open design reveals that open design is already being implemented in a substantial variety of projects with different organisational and institutional structures.Abstract:
Open source software development has received considerable scholarly attention, much of which is based on the presumption that the ‘open source model’ holds some lessons of broader applicability. Nonetheless, our knowledge of its deployment outside the software industry is very limited. This paper focuses on the open source development of tangible objects, the so-called open design. We propose a generalised definition of open source development. Drawing on 27 exploratory interviews and six comparative case studies selected from a pool of more than 75 projects, we analyse the workings of open design. The analysis reveals that open design is already being implemented in a substantial variety of projects with different organisational and institutional structures.read more

Leveraging External Sources of Innovation: A Review of Research on Open Innovation
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of prior research on how firms leverage external sources of innovation is presented, which suggests a four-phase model in which a linear process of obtaining, integrating, integrating and commercializing external innovations is combined with interaction between the firm and its collaborators.

Toward a new economics of science
Dasgupta Partha,Paul A. David +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make use of insights from the theory of games of incomplete information to synthesize the classic approach of Arrow and Nelson in examining the implications of the characteristics of information for allocative efficiency in research activities, on the one hand, with the functionalist analysis of institutional structures, reward systems and behavioral norms of "open science" communities associated with the sociology of science in the tradition of Merton.
