In open innovation scenarios, firms are able to profit from
technological developments that take place beyond the legal
boundaries. However, in the absence of contract-based vertical
command chains, such as in the case of open source software (OSS),
it is difficult for firms to obtain control over the innovation
project s trajectory. In this book, the author suggests that firms
have basically two options to control project work beyond their
boundaries and beyond their vertical command chains. The assumption
is discussed against various theories of the firm as well as
control theory and empirically tested by analyzing firm engagement
in Eclipse open source projects as well as communication work in
the Linux kernel project.
