Business Models for Peer to Peer Initiatives
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper examines recent peer to peer initiatives in the context of the business models literature. There are three types of studies on business models: focused studies on success factors, multifactor studies of success and failure, and studies identifying the components of business models. The most common factors used to analyze business models are: revenue sources, potential benefits to actors, enabling technologies, security, and behavioural changes. Of the four cases analyzed the collaborative model of Groove and the distribution and caching model of Kontiki appear to have greater commercial promise than the file sharing model of KaZaA and the distributed processing model of SETI@Home.
