This is ground I covered in Models for Sustainable Open Educational Resources, but is a good update, a much quicker read, and contains new information. Also, this article covers publishing in general, while I was looking at open educational resources specifically.

Whether a publication is the product of a commercial publisher or a not-for-profit educational institution, the publisher must determine how it will generate revenue and align its cost structure appropriately."
