Zusammenfassung
Wie entwickeln sich Industrien? Wir untersuchen diese Fragestellung anhand eines detail-lierten Vergleiches der grundlegenden Eigenschaften der Open Source Software-Ent-wicklung einerseits und des Humangenomforschungsprojektes andererseits. Geleitet durch einen theoretischen Bezugsrahmen, wie er von dem Sozialphilosophen Jürgen Habermas entwickelt worden ist, analysieren wir insbesondere das Zusammenspiel von intrinsischer und extrinsischer Motivation und die Frage, wie dieses Zusammenspiel die Branchenevolution beeinflusst. Wie das Habermas'sehe Konzept der „Kolonialisierung der LebensweIt“ andeutet, kann die zunehmende Bedeutung ökonomischer Anreizstrukturen auch negative Auswirkungen auf die Strukturen der Open Source Software Community bzw. des Humangenomforschungsprojektes haben und die freiwillige Bereitschaft zur Teilnahme beeinflussen.
Abstract
How do industries evolve? We explore this question by making a detailed comparison of basic characteristics of open source software (OSS) development and the deciphering of the human genome. Based on a Habermasian theoretical framework, we focus especially on the interplay between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation and how this interplay can drive industry evolution. However, as the Habermasian concept of a 'colonialization of the life-world' indicates, we show how the rising importance of extrinsic motivation can also have negative repercussions, e.g. on the 'public' development structures in the OSS community or the Human Genome Project and the readiness of their members to participate free of charge.
