electronic business, and public administration sectors, the panellists will discuss how open source has been used to transform the value offering to consumers and citizens as well as the consequential business model changes for these organizations. In particular, the panelists will discuss the manner in which organizations 1. utilize open source frameworks, tools and methods to build systems in an agile, rapid, and economically efficient manner 2. build competitive strategies around delivering cocreated services that exploit open source 3. adopt open source licensing structures to leverage the power of community-based development, promote particular platforms and standards, grow market- and mind-share, and steward public funds responsibly In extrapolating from these experiences, the panellists will consider the need for private and public organizations to adopt sophisticated business strategies and models to 1. offer services that exploit the various forms of peer-produced intellectual property 2. manage the reliance on interorganizational/networked business dynamics 3. maintain delicate relationships with peer production communities The panel will include short position statements by the panellists and a dialogue between them on these positions, followed by a discussion with the audience. Significant time will be allocated to an open discussion with the audience, and those attending are invited to raise their own concerns/opinions in relation to developing service-offerings that exploit peer production.
