A framework for open source hardware business models

Résumé

The goal of this paper is to deliver a comprehensive framework to understand the types of revenue streams open source hardware (OSH) projects can activate. The Commons theory serves as the theoretical foundation of this research, as OSH peer production transcends firms’ boundaries, and is an instance where the combined forces of the market, the state and the commons can collectively manage a shared resource or innovation. The business models of 27 community-based and community-oriented OSH initiatives were studied during a 3 year period, and collected data were analyzed following a qualitative and abductive methodology. The results allow us to see an emerging process, wherein OSH initiatives progressively interact with their surrounding innovation ecosystems, enrich their value propositions and grow in impact.
