Business models for open data businesses

Published: 27 October 2014 Publication History

Abstract

Despite the increasing volume of publications and research in open data, many aspects of open data are yet to be studied. To this extent, extensive literature review on business models in the context of open data was performed. Interestingly, scholarly efforts providing practical elaborations and rigorous analysis of open data business models are omitted. This could be partly attributed to the fact that most discussions on open data business models are predominantly in the practice community. This shortcoming has resulted in a growing list of open data business models which, on closer examination, are not clearly delineated and lack clear value orientation. Therefore, this thesis will address issues related to open data business models. This paper focuses on the background and results of my research to date. This paper also outlines the potential research questions and future work.
