Abstract
Many software producing organizations do not know how to measure, compare, and analyse their governance policy in software ecosystems. Without sufficient insight into governance, these organizations cannot optimally perform as keystone players. This paper outlines a framework for the analysis of software ecosystem governance for individual companies. With such a framework, software producing organizations can gain strategic advantage over other organizations, in that they can analyse and improve their software ecosystem governance in a structured way, leading to better ecosystem performance and health.
