Abstract :
Independent technological innovation has become a nationwide question for discussion in China; one of independent innovation bottlenecks is the scarcity of idiographic technological innovation model. The phenomenon of open source software development shows a novel innovation model that users program to solve their own as well as shared technical problems, and freely reveal their innovations without appropriating private returns from selling the software. In this paper, an open source tech-innovation model is proposed, an exemplar of a ldquohalf-open sourcerdquo model of innovation that contains elements of both the private benefit action and the ldquoopen source coderdquo action models and can offer enterprise the double-advantage technological innovation method under many conditions. Further discussion on open source tech-innovation model is based on three dimensions, team structure, technological equipment and management specialty.
