An example of selective revealing in non-Open Source Software (non-OSS) environments
On 12 June this year Tesla (2014) announced the free licensing of its
patents to anyone in good faith in order to advance the market for
electric cars.
MARKUS DEIMEL│ ANTECEDENTS OF SELECTIVE REVEALING
What firm-specific factors influence the likelihood to engage
in the selective revealing of knowledge?
Research question
MARKUS DEIMEL│ ANTECEDENTS OF SELECTIVE REVEALING
Selective revealing and current literature
Selective revealing (Henkel 2006, Alexy et al. 2013)
extends the established literature on knowledge flows, e.g.
Collective invention (Allen 1983, Nuvolari 2004)
Cumulative invention (Scotchmer 1991)
Free revealing / private - collective invention (von Hippel 1987, von
Hippel & von Krogh 2003, Alexy 2008)
Voluntary knowledge-spillovers (Harhoff et al. 2003)
MARKUS DEIMEL│ ANTECEDENTS OF SELECTIVE REVEALING
OSS is only one of many industries in the economy
Operationalisation of propositions stated in Alexy et al.
(2013)
Difference in the development process of software and
other industries
Researching a Non- Open Source Software environment
