Abstract
This chapter explores the relationship between characteristics of a software market and strategic management of software development in a supply chain. The typical characteristics of software markets and software supply chains are described. A decision framework is developed which connects specific market characteristics to independent and dependent development approaches in a software supply chain. Key areas of a development strategy are the variability, the asset, the legacy integration and the change. The framework is preliminary validated by application to four typical reuse technologies.
