Over the last decade, the commercial world has more and more embraced open source software such as the Linux operating system. What started out as an ideological movement for "Free Software" and as a hobbyists' thing has largely turned into a ma- stream part of the IT industry. By 2008, even the long-time open source critic Microsoft has created two open source licenses, and it comes as little surprise when Google - leases the complete mobile operating system stack of its Android phone as open source. Yet, how exactly open source software and in particular the open source style of software...

In his dissertation, Philipp Sandner aims at examining portfolios of intellectual property (IP) rights to assess the market valuation of companies' intangible assets. Specifically, patents and trademarks are used to approach technology-based and market-based assets, resp- tively. He applies econometric methods to a unique dataset which he assembled specifically...

In wissensintensiven Industrien gelten Erfindungen als wesentliche Quelle kunftiger Wettbewerbsfahigkeit. Angesichts des technologischen Wandels und der steigenden Komplexitat der Technik spielen die Kommunikationsnetzwerke der Erfinder heute eine zentrale Rolle im Erfindungsprozess. Maria Heibel analysiert den Zusammenhang zwischen den Kommunikations-netzwerken und der Produktivitat von Erfindern. Aufbauend auf einer quantitativ empirischen Analyse werden detaillierte Kenntnisse uber die Bedeutung von Kommunikationsnetzwerken im Erfindungsprozess sowie uber die zweiseitige Kausalitat...
