"Looking at the types of organizations that adopt OSS we found that companies
using an OSS system have significantly higher revenues and assets than
users of proprietary systems.
These facts probably indicate that OSS adoption is driven by economies of
scale and scope, and that it is also associated with better performance.
Furthermore, we saw that an industry sector's IT capital stock share was
positively correlated with its OSS adoption ratio, indicating that
the adoption of OSS benefits from a high intensity of IT usage as measured
through the IT capital stock share.
As you can see in the Figure, OSS adoption is rising with surprising
regularity from the diagram's left to the right as a company's focus
moves toward the consumer presumably commanding a higher intensity of IT usage.
