Lichtenstein, Y., Dujmovic, S. & Baden-Fuller, C. ORCID: 0000-0002-0230-1144 (2018). Strategies for Competing in the Automotive Industry’s Software Ecosystem: Standards and Bottlenecks. IEEE Software, doi: 10.1109/MS.2018.290105946

Abstract

The automotive industry includes many actors engaged in software that span small and large companies within old and new sectors. This paper focuses on the controlling position of car manufacturers in the automotive software ecosystem and suggests three strategies for participating software innovators – contesting, cooperating and circumventing. The strategies are exemplified with current cases: Tesla as contestation, Bosch cooperation with a car manufacturer in a data collection project as a basis for future services, and circumventing in a project based on the mobile Internet.
