%0 Journal Article %D 2001 %T Innovating without Money: Linux and the Open Source Paradigm as an Alternative to Commercial Software Development %A Mateos Garcia, Juan %X This dissertation analyses two different paradigms used for the development of a operating systems by Microsoft Corporation and the Linux Community. Through the observation of the strategies and methodologies used by these actors in their work, and taking into account the constraints to which they are subject, assesses, from a dynamic perspective, the relative strengths and weaknesses of their competing paradigms. A theoretical model based on Giovanni Dosi?s "Technological Paradigms" framework, incorporating institutional, industrial, social and cultural aspects, is constructed and specifically adapted to the software industry case. The private management of technology issues considered during the analysis of the development processes inside different organisations are linked to questions having to do with the evolution of high technology, networked, markets. %8 August %G eng %> https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/mateos.pdf
