  1. Antecedents of selective revealing: An empirical study in non-OSS environments Markus Deimel Institute for Strategy, Technology and Organization Professor Christopher Lettl Vienna University of Economics and Business

  2. An exampleofselectiverevealing in non-Open Source Software (non-OSS) environments On 12 June thisyearTesla (2014) announcedthefreelicensingofitspatentstoanyone in goodfaith in ordertoadvancethemarketforelectriccars.

  3. Research question What firm-specific factors influence the likelihood to engage in the selective revealing of knowledge?

  4. Selectiverevealingandcurrentliterature • Selectiverevealing(Henkel 2006, Alexy et al. 2013) extendstheestablishedliterature on knowledgeflows, e.g. • Collective invention(Allen 1983, Nuvolari 2004) • Cumulativeinvention(Scotchmer 1991) • Free revealing / private - collectiveinvention(von Hippel 1987, von Hippel & von Krogh 2003, Alexy2008) • Voluntaryknowledge-spillovers(Harhoff et al. 2003)

  5. Researching a Non- Open Source Software environment • OSS isonlyoneofmanyindustries in theeconomy • Operationalisationofpropositionsstated in Alexy et al. (2013) • Difference in thedevelopmentprocessofsoftwareandotherindustries

  6. Feedback andquestionswelcome: • Relevanceoftheresearchquestion • Theoreticalunderpinnings • Ideasforresearch design
