| About my research |
My research topics are open innovation and digital economics dealing with both managerial and market-based aspects. My work explores how new productive activities driven by external – non commercial – players may lead to valuable outcomes for traditional – potentially for-profit – players. For this purpose I study the market-based benefits that traditional productive entities may derive from surrounding – alternative – activities and the organizational mechanisms to be set up to reach such profitable outcomes. I am thus interested in measuring the impact of community-based initiatives led by atypical productive players on the valuation of productive activities at both private – commercial – and public – collective – levels. |
Focusing on the cases of open source software development and file-sharing activities, my results show that cooperative participation patterns between traditional productive entities and new community-based – user-driven – organizations are likely to deliver variable outcomes to both of them. As such, the so-called 'open innovation' model enables players to mutually benefit from the reshape of the industrial landscape it generates, whether it deals with legal or 'outlaw' sources of innovation. Such a model nevertheless requires the setting up of organizational readjustments for sustainable gains to be derived from the 'open' paradigm shift. |
Through both a managerial and market-based lens, the goal of my current research is to better understand (1) the microstructures of community-based innovative organizations, (2) the conditions for which cooperation dynamics provide mutual benefits to both commercial and non-commercial organizations, (3) the suitability of the business models that are likely to emerge from such cooperation patterns, and (4) the shifting role of intellectual property rights in this framework. |
