Constant demands for new features besides maintaining product quality made companies seek open source as an answer for these demands. These growing demands brought with them control of quality, architecture, contribution management, and community management. This article explores the governance strategies adopted by open source software projects to manage the quality of complements (such as plug-ins that extend a platform{\textquoteright}s functionality) developed by community members outside the core team. The outcomes of the research contribute to our understanding of the strategies followed by different open source platform owners (the open source project initiators) to manage external innovation in the case of platform extensions in two areas: i) governance models and ii) regulatory tools. }, keywords = {and collaboration, governance, Open innovation, open source, platforms, regulatory tools}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/647}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/647}, author = {Nadia Noori and Michael Weiss} } @article {683, title = {Niche Formation in the Mashup Ecosystem}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {3}, year = {2013}, month = {05/2013}, pages = {13-17}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, abstract = {Mashups enable end-users to "mix and match" data and services available on the web to create applications. Their creation is supported by a complex ecosystem of i) data providers who offer open APIs to users, ii) users who combine APIs into mashups, and iii) platforms, such as the ProgrammableWeb or Mashape, that facilitate the construction and publication of mashups. In this article, we argue that the evolution of the mashup ecosystem can be explained in terms of ecosystem niches anchored around hub or keystone APIs. The members of a niche are focused on an area of specialization (e.g., mapping applications) and contribute their knowledge to the value proposition of the ecosystem as a whole. To demonstrate the formation of niches in the mashup ecosystem, we model groups of related mashups as species, and we reconstruct the evolution of mashup species through phylogenetic analysis. }, keywords = {ecosystems, evolution, growth, keystones, mashups, niche formation, recombinant innovation, speciation}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/683}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/683}, author = {Michael Weiss and Solange Sari and Nadia Noori} }
