| | 4 | i The Harvard Business School's "Working Knowledge" site has\r |
| | 5 | i [1]an article arguing that it can pay for companies to allow\r |
| | 6 | i their developers to contribute back to the projects whose\r |
| | 7 | i software they use. " And that presents an interesting dilemma\r |
| | 8 | i for firms that rely heavily on open source. Should they allow\r |
| | 9 | i employees on company time to make updates and edits to the\r |
| | 10 | i software for community use that could be used by competitors?\r |
| | 11 | i New research by Assistant Professor Frank Nagle, a member of\r |
| | 12 | i the Strategy Unit at Harvard Business School, shows that\r |
| | 13 | i paying employees to contribute to such software boosts the\r |
| | 14 | i company’s productivity from using the software by as much as\r |
| | 15 | i 100 percent, when compared with free-riding competitors. "\r |
