The prestigious Harvard Business Review recently published a case study called “Open Source: Salvation or Suicide” by Scott Wilson and Ajit Kambil of Deloitte Research. It features a fictional company whose CEO has never heard of open source and is a little frightened by the idea when it is presented to her. However their open source competitor proves that open source does have its advantages, such as faster development and testing of new features. The Linux Journal has a very comprehensive summary and review of the case study, including the comments of the four commentators: Sun President and CEO Jonathan Schwartz, Eric Levin of Techno Source, Gary Pisano, a professor at Harvard Business School, and finally attorney, Michael J. Bevilacqua.
