The conceptual foundation that determines how an organization creates and captures value.
Develops the boundaries of an organization by: • Articulating the organizations vision• Approach to managing value creation
Closed Model
Organizations internalize resources for value creation; restrict access to knowledge, and
protect intellectual property.

Organizations leverage both internal and external resources for value creation;
strategically interact with its environment
“Distributed groups of individuals focused on solving a general problem
and/or developing a new solution supported by computer-mediated
communication.” (Dahlander & Wallin, 2006 p. 1246)

Relational Dynamics
“Did you mean the communication between <NAME REMOVED> and the eZ publish community? Yes, it’s very
nice!”
“I think the communication by <NAMES REMOVED>… is great, but one gets the feeling that they may not have the
best communication with eZ Systems.”
Responses suggest a distinction among organizational agents (those working within eZ Publish community) and the organization (eZ Systems) when it comes to
perceptions about communication.
Decision Making Process
“Maybe more trusted people could make/develop eZ Publish. More people from community could become
professional or ‘half-professional’ eZ partners, developers…”
“… It’s harder to give confidence to an open-source community driven by an editor than a community driven
by a democratic or autocratic authority.”
Responses suggest a significant interest in understanding the dynamics that exist in terms of the decision making process, “rights” of the community”,
and the benefits of commitment to community.
Member Development
“Creating the badge/grade/xp/achievement system…”
“Focus heavily on the noob. Hard core devs are already here, but there are not that many in the world. Grooming noobs is a growth opportunity.”
Responses focused on interest in developing & nurturing the growth of the community via technical (e.g., achievement system & webinar features) and social adjustments (e.g., training and mentorship for
new members & inexperienced developers).
Need to develop a deeper understanding of the relationships within the eZ Share community.
