In this talk, Dr Matthias Stuermer presents a case study of a large commercial company (Nokia), which opened up a product's software, leveraged externally developed Open Source technologies and encouraged contributions from independent developers and competing businesses alike. In the process, the company created a new market for the product it had envisioned (the Internet tablet) but, more importantly, it learned how to cooperate with a diverse community of employers, volunteers and contractors. Additionally, by allowing external developers to experiment with the software, the company enabled innovations previously seen as unrealistic by its own engineers.
