“…Several researchers hinted at the possibility that cognitive stimulation may deliver the needed impetus for community members to overcome barriers related to knowledge exchange (Dahlander, Frederiksen, and Rullani 2008;Franke and Shah 2003;Hsu, Ju, Yen, and Chang 2007;Krogh, Spaeth, and Lakhani 2003;Lin 2007;Quigley, Tesluk, Locke, and Bartol 2007). Also, scholars in information systems and innovation management have studied if and if so how technical features may influence cognitive factors, such as motivation or trust (Ebner, Leimeister, and Krcmar 2009;Shah 2006;Leimeister, Ebner, and Krcmar 2005).…”

Many aspects in the area of designing platforms for intra-organizational innovation communities are not well understood. In this article, we examine the impact of technologically induced psychological factors on knowledge exchange in such communities. Using two experimental pretest-posttest experiments, we find that the implementation of (i) technologically induced self-efficacy (expressed by a ‘hurray’ message) and (ii) technologically induced positive affect (expressed by playing some 30 seconds of rock-’n’-roll music) in the design of the platform results in an influential increase of knowledge exchange. Importantly, the studies suggest that the integration of technologically induced self-efficacy leads to a higher extent of knowledge exchange than technologically induced positive affect. The implications of these results for future research and practice as well as for the design of a platform for such communities are discussed.

“…Participating in OSS communities: To enable organizations to reap benefits from their participation in OSS communities, the research community should dedicate much more attention to questions concerning this [48,165]. While there are a few examples [50,101,176,186], more work is needed to aid organizations in participating in communities and collaborating with other organizations through collaboratively working on OSS products [7] and to solve questions like:…”

“…Grand et al [94] have similar observations, in that the dedication to OSS is a matter of degree, or in other words a matter of allocating resources. There are overlapping areas between deploying OSS products and integrating OSS products into a system [3,4], and between participating in the development of an OSS and providing an OSS product [7,48]. For example, different organizations may use the same OSS product quite differently.…”

Context: Open source software (OSS) is changing the way organizations develop, acquire, use, and commercialize software. Objective: This paper seeks to identify how organizations adopt OSS, classify the literature according to these ways of adopting OSS, and with a focus on software development evaluate the research on adoption of OSS in organizations. Method: Based on the systematic literature review method we reviewed publications from 24 journals and seven conference and workshop proceedings, published between 1998 and 2008. From a population of 24289 papers, we identified 112 papers which provide empirical evidence on how organizations actually adopt OSS. Results: We show that adopting OSS involves more than simply using OSS products. We moreover provide a classification framework consisting of six distinctly different ways in which organizations adopt OSS. This framework is used to illustrate some of the opportunities and challenges organizations meet when approaching OSS, to show that OSS can be adopted successfully in different ways, and to organize and review existing research. We find that this research does not sufficiently describe the context of the organizations studied. It is furthermore fragmented and fails to benefit fully from related research fields. Finally, we present directions for future research.

“…The strategic challenge is how firms can best organize the sourcing, codification and exploitation of the internal and external knowledge and informational resources to maximize and sustain innovation (Love & Roper, 2009). One of the most popular mechanism for open innovation implementation is user innovation communities (Dahlander, Frederiksen, & Rullani, 2008). Firms such as Microsoft, Dell, IBM, BMW, and Nokia increasingly invest in virtual communities to solicit user contributions as part of their innovation processes.…”
