پویایی رقابتی در بازار سیستم عامل: مدل سازی و الزامات سیاست گذاری

Findings suggest that Linux can survive competition, even in a highly concentrated market, while Mac OSX is mostly benefited by the existence of Linux. As one step further, the study performs a sensitivity analysis of the possible effects on market structure induced by a rise in Linux adoption and identifies the conditions under which market structure can dramatically change, even to a competitive one. Results can provide valuable inputs for managerial decisions and strategic planning to the players of software markets.
