OER Sustainability Business Models
encore+,
Apr 20, 2022
This post begins with what Konkol et al. (2021) call the paradox "that generating revenue out of OER is not intended, but ignoring income can make OER unsustainable". Well, maybe, but ignoring income can may anything unsustainable, and it is equally important to consider the other side of the equation: expenses. Anyhow, this post provides a quick survey of sustainability models from Konkol, then offers some alternatuive formulations, including (from Belleflamme & Jacqmin, 2015) some commercially focused models. Nothing really new here, but the article does signify the recycling of the same core ideas for a new generation.
