Prof. Katsamakas'
research seeks to
understand the business and economic impact of IT and the Internet. His research
program focuses on the business value of platforms, networks, and
open source software. His
methodological expertise includes IS economics (game theory and
econometrics),
and dynamic simulation of complex systems. Prof. Katsamakas is a regular
referee for multiple journals (Information Systems Research, Management
Science, Journal of MIS, Production and Operations Management, Journal of
Industrial Economics, International J of Electronic Commerce, etc.) and
Associate Editor for the International
Conference on Information Systems (2007, 2009). He served as
guest-editor of the System Dynamics Review
special issue
"Dynamics of IS" (Fall 2008) and organized the
Complex IS Dynamics and Strategic
Performance research workshop (June 2007, NYC). He was also
invited expert panelist at the United Nations conference on the "Development
impact of open source software" (October 2007, NYC). Selected research
articles are listed below.
Business impact of Open Source Software
The first research stream of Prof.
Katsamakas' research focuses on the economics
and strategy of Open Source
Software (OSS). This research analyzes competition of open source and proprietary
technologies, innovation incentives, OSS development process, OSS adoption, and the strategic
value of OSS in Healthcare. It also examines implications of open source
beyond software.
