| dc.description.abstract | This thesis looks into the academic literature of customer co-creation and software ecosystems,
in particular the governance of such ecosystems. A privately owned, commercial
software ecosystem built around software platform(s) in use by the E&P industry is used
as a case for further exploring the usefulness of frameworks and tools found in the academic
literature. The ecosystem is analysed both for academic purposes as well as in
regards to the particular problem of coordinating asset production within software ecosystems.
A proposed solution to this problem is provided towards the end of this thesis, but
no technical deployment of it and the relevant tools is done or evaluated. There does,
however, seem to be some potential in the application of existing ecosystem literature. | |
