Capability Model for Open Data: An Empirical Analysis
Pages 403 - 411
Abstract
Creating superior competitiveness is central to open data organization's survivability in the fast changing and competitive open data market. In their quest to develop and increase competitiveness and survivability, many of these organizations are moving towards developing open data capabilities. Research-based knowledge on open data capabilities and how they relate to each other remains sparse, however, with most of the open data literature focusing on social and economic value of open data, not capabilities required. By exploring the related literature on business and organizational capabilities and linking the findings to the empirical evidence collected through the survey of 49 open data organizations around the world, this study develops an open data capability model. The model emerged from our deductive research process improves both theoretical and practical understanding of open data capabilities and their relationships required to help increase competitiveness and survivability of these types of organizations.
