Abstract
This chapter explores how the use of a business model enables value creation in the open source software (OSS) environment. We argue that this value can be attained by analyzing the value creation logic and the elements of potential business models emerging in the OSS environment, since profitable business is all about creating value and capturing it properly. Open source (OS) offers one possibility for firms that are continuously finding new opportunities to organize their business activities and increase the amount of value they appropriate according to their capabilities. Furthermore, the concept of a business model is considered a tool for exploring new business ideas and capturing the essential elements of each alternative. We propose that a general business model is also applicable in the context of OSS, and we provide a list of questions that may help managers deal with OSS in their businesses.

Human-Centric E-Business
This term is ambiguous, as the analytical perspective colors its meaning. Nevertheless, the value network in general terms evolves from a supply chain through mutual use of ICT and more closely linked collaboration and mutual dependency between the partner organizations or independent companies. Collaboration means electronic communication via extranet, or Internet, co-operation and co-ordination of work flow, information and knowledge exchange, negotiation and dynamic trading, and joint decision making. Value is derived through the exchanges with partner organizations in the network and its shared knowledge. The value network also aims to deliver the highest value to the end consumer and to its stakeholders.
