Information Technology has evolved over a period of time from Electronic Data Processors (EDP) to Cloud based technologies. Software is a critical component in this industry. The core product component in software is the set of instructions in the form of source code. During inception of the industry, programs were available at no cost. In the next era of information technology, programs which were free off cost were sold at a price. The programs were sold in the form of licenses. Proprietary software dominated the industry. The hardware manufacturers, users and organizations had to largely depend on propriety software. In the recent years users are moving towards open source applications. In specific, open source based operating system is being used and preferred by most of the users. Microsoft has considerably lost its market share in operating system products from 94.38%(based on data compiled by Authors) in Jun 2007 to 86.58% in May 2011. One of the main drivers of market share is product acceptance. Product acceptance is largely dependent on product features. This paper makes an attempt to identify critical features of operating system that may result in product acceptance and increase market share.Full Text

Business model establishes linkage between strategy planning and implementation. Business models in software industry are unique in many ways. One is uniqueness of value chain of software industry. Secondly, software product users are manufacturers of software for open source based software. The changes in the product are identified & modified by customers themselves under open source software environment. Operating system software belongs to system software category. System software is created and made available to customers in various forms. Operating systems are designed for Desktops/Laptops and Servers. The major players in this industry are Microsoft, Linux and Mac. Under Desktop category, Microsoft (MS) and Mac are the major players. Each of these major players have unique business model. This study attempts to understand and analyze the existing business model and a conceptual business model is proposed using activity based approach for operating system products.Keywords

The concept of Organic Growth Index (OGI) has been coined through this research. OGI measures the performance of a company based on the contribution of core activities in the total earnings other than investments and other revenues. However, the process of mergers and acquisition is included as a part of earnings from core activities. The study aims at identifying the progression steps for organic growth.Full Text
