英文文献摘要：
Open source software (OSS) has recently emerged as a new way to organize innovation and product development in the software industry. This paper investigates the factors that explain the investment of profit-oriented firms in OSS products. Drawing on the resource-based theory of the firm, we focus on the role played by pre-OSS firm assets both upstream and downstream, in the software and the hardware dimensions, to explain the rate of product introduction in OSS. Using a self-assembled database of firms that have announced releases of OSS products during the period 1995-2003, we find that the intensity of product introduction can be explained by a strong position in software technology and downstream market presence in hardware. Firms with consolidated market presence in proprietary software and strong technological competences in hardware are more reluctant to shift to the new paradigm. The evidence is stronger for operating systems than for applications. The fear of cannibalization, the crucial role of absorptive capacity, and complementarities between hardware and software are plausible explanations behind our findings.
开源软件(OSS)最近成为软件行业组织创新和产品开发的一种新方式。本文探讨了利润导向企业投资开源软件产品的因素。利用企业的资源基础理论，我们关注前OSS企业资产在软件和硬件维度的上游和下游所扮演的角色，以解释产品在OSS中的引入率。使用1995-2003年期间发布OSS产品的公司的自组装数据库，我们发现产品引进的强度可以解释为软件技术的强势地位和硬件下游市场的存在。在专有软件领域拥有稳固的市场地位和在硬件领域拥有强大技术能力的公司更不愿意转向新的模式。操作系统比应用程序更有说服力。对同类相食的恐惧，吸收能力的关键作用，以及硬件和软件之间的互补性，都是我们研究结果背后的合理解释。
