| Dobusch, L. (2008): "Windows versus Linux: Markt - Organisation - Pfad" Wiesbaden: VS-Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften, ISBN: 978-3-531-16242-3 (de) | Microsoft Windows is "everyone's favorite example" for path dependence. This volume compares the attempts of four large municipal administrations in Germany and Austria (Berlin, Frankfurt/M., Munich, and Vienna) to migrate their desktop software environment from Microsoft Windows and Office to Free/Open Source Software. In doing so, the possibilities for an "innovative destruction" (Schumpeter) of monopolistic network market structures via organizational technology adoption are investigated. | © | |
