Innovating Without Money: Linux and the Open Source Paradigm as an Alternative to Commercial Software Development

Overview This paper analyses two different paradigms used for the development of a software product, Operating Systems. The targets of research are two groups that operate in very different ways, 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. This paper analyses the efficiency of the development processes that they have adopted for the design, improvement and enhancement of their products.
