碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 管理學研究所 === 90 === As Linux raise, more and more scholars interest in study external users’ community. But scholars ignore commercial organizations’ role in external users’ community. This thesis want to understand how commercial organizations run in external users’ community, product development process, external users’ role. Primary discoverese of this thesis as follow: (一) Software’s source code open or close will affect software development firms’ knowledge creation platform 1. External user’s role is information provider if software’s source codes are closed. 2. External user’s role is developer if software’s source codes are opened. 3. Under open source software, software’s co-development networks are commercial companies if software are developed inside the company 4. Under open source software, software’s co-development networks are external users if software are developed outside the company 5. Regardless source codes opened or closed, it does’nt affect team leader’s role that inside/outside the team if softwae are developed inside the company 6. Regardless source codes opened or closed, it does’nt affect team member’s role and power that inside the team if softwae are developed inside the company 7. Under open source software, software’s development members will have larger power if software are developed outside the company 8. Regardless source codes opened or closed, it does’nt affect software development process if softwae are developed inside the company (二) Different license open degree will affect software firms’ knowledge creation platform 9. Software license more and more open will lead software development process less and less construction if software are developed outside the company 10. Software license more and more open will lead team leader has less and less power if software are developed outside the company 11. Software license more and more open will lead team member has more and more power if software are developed outside the company 12. Software license more and more open will lead commercial company has less and less control and external users’ community will has more and more self-control and self-coordinate if software are developed outside the company
