accountIn the third iteration of their study, the authors analyzed a sub-sample of 50 open-source business models (OSBMs) sourced from the AngelList database, which resulted in splitting the 'key offering' dimension into 'free offering' and 'commercial offering,' and adding dimensions for 'customer interface,' 'communication channel,' and 'platform type.'
claimThe authors of 'Archetypes of open-source business models' developed a taxonomy and archetypical patterns to help researchers characterize and structure open-source business models (OSBMs) and understand their underlying design mechanisms.
accountThe authors of 'Archetypes of open-source business models' validated their taxonomy by matching each project discussed by interviewees to one of the existing archetypes.
accountThe authors of 'Archetypes of open-source business models' used a morphological box to visualize the taxonomy of Open Source Business Models (OSBMs) because morphological decomposition helps designers combine their own business models from detailed design characteristics.
accountThe authors of 'Archetypes of open-source business models' enhanced the 'free offering' characteristic in their taxonomy because interviewees noted that their open-source projects provide components that third parties enhance into complete products.
referenceThe taxonomy developed by the authors of 'Archetypes of open-source business models' combines aspects of open-source software (product architecture and community building), business model design (value creation and capture), and technological trends (platforms).
claimThe research presented in 'Archetypes of open-source business models' assists practitioners in comparing, analyzing, and designing open-source business models (OSBMs) for digital technologies.
claimThe authors of 'Archetypes of open-source business models' identify four archetypes that focus on platform-based offerings: open-source platform BM, open innovation BM, open-core platform BM, and proprietary-like BM.
accountThe authors of 'Archetypes of open-source business models' performed a second iteration of analysis on the literature corpus to identify design elements of OSBMs, arguing that grounding the taxonomy in existing conceptual knowledge provides advantages over purely inductive work.
referenceThe authors of 'Archetypes of open-source business models' utilized the concept matrix method developed by Webster and Watson (2002) to analyze the literature corpus regarding ontological business model elements.
claimThe research presented in 'Archetypes of open-source business models' produced a taxonomy for open-source business models (OSBMs) based on scientific literature and empirical data, with design elements classified into 17 dimensions and 75 characteristics.
claimThe archetypes presented in 'Archetypes of open-source business models' help incorporate abstract concepts such as open innovation and open platforms into research, as supported by Asadullah et al. (2018) and Eseryel (2014).
referenceThe final taxonomy for Open Source Business Models (OSBMs) presented in 'Archetypes of open-source business models' consists of four meta-dimensions (MD1-4), 17 dimensions (D1-17), and 75 characteristics.
accountIn the fourth iteration of their study, the authors analyzed an additional sample of 50 open-source business models (OSBMs) from the SourceForge database to identify new relevant aspects and differences in designing OSBMs across different organizational backgrounds.
accountThe authors of 'Archetypes of open-source business models' assisted interviewees with practical backgrounds in designing Open Source Business Models (OSBMs) by providing recommendations based on matching archetypes.
claimThe authors of the study 'Archetypes of open-source business models' developed their taxonomy by applying cluster analysis to an underlying database of business model dimensions and characteristics, aligning with prior studies by Remane et al. (2016) and Weking et al. (2018).
procedureThe authors of 'Archetypes of open-source business models' excluded non-English literature, literature unrelated to open-source business models (OSBMs), and non-peer-reviewed sources such as theses or presentations from their literature review.
claimThe analyzed sample for the 'Archetypes of open-source business models' study included only organizations found when searching for the term 'open source', which may exclude organizations providing open-source offerings without explicitly highlighting them.
procedureThe authors of the study 'Archetypes of open-source business models' identify key characteristics of open-source business models (OSBMs) using a taxonomic analysis and demarcate OSBM archetypes using a cluster analysis.
procedureThe study 'Archetypes of open-source business models' developed a taxonomy of open-source business models (OSBMs) by analyzing 120 distinct OSBMs using an iterative development process.
claimAn interviewee in the study 'Archetypes of open-source business models' suggested that future research on Open Source Business Model (OSBM) design should analyze sub-archetypes or success factors to provide more precise guidance.
