It uses a framework-based comparison to explain the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. By pointing out characteristics along with benefits and pitfalls of each approach, the authors provide nuanced and research-based advice to managers and developers facing software sourcing decisions. The differences and commonalities of these three emerging approaches are carefully analyzed. Chapters explore the primary challenges of reliability, efficiency and robustness in open-source methods. Examples from industrial cases are included, along with extensive references to recent research. The brief concludes with a comparative analysis of approaches and outlines key implications to be aware of when outsourcing. Software Sourcing in the Age of Open: Leveraging the Unknown Workforce is designed for professionals and researchers interested in outsourcing challenges. The content is also suitable for postgraduate students interested in contemporary software sourcing approaches. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Computer Science,$x2191-5776 606 $aSoftware engineering 606 $aBusiness information services 606 $aIndustrial organization 606 $aSoftware Engineering 606 $aIT in Business 606 $aIndustrial Organization 606 $aOrganization 615 0$aSoftware engineering. 615 0$aBusiness information services. 615 0$aIndustrial organization. 615 14$aSoftware Engineering. 615 24$aIT in Business. 615 24$aIndustrial Organization. 615 24$aOrganization. 676 $a004 676 $a005.1 676 $a338.6 676 $a650 676 $a658.1 700 $aÅgerfalk$b Pär J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0923670 702 $aFitzgerald$b Brian$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aStol$b Klaas-Jan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299245603321 996 $aSoftware Sourcing in the Age of Open$92514378 997 $aUNINA
