This SpringerBrief discusses multiple forms of open-source-inspired outsourcing: opensourcing 
innersourcing and crowdsourcing. It uses a framework-based comparison to explain the strengths
and weaknesses of each approach. By pointing out characteristics along with benefits and
pitfalls of each approach  the authors provide nuanced and research-based advice to managers
and developers facing software sourcing decisions. The differences and commonalities of these
three emerging approaches are carefully analyzed. Chapters explore the primary challenges of
reliability  efficiency and robustness in open-source methods. Examples from industrial cases
are included  along with extensive references to recent research. The brief concludes with a
comparative analysis of approaches and outlines key implications to be aware of when
outsourcing. Software Sourcing in the Age of Open: Leveraging the Unknown Workforce is designed
for professionals and researchers interested in outsourcing challenges. The content is also
suitable for postgraduate students interested in contemporary software sourcing approaches.
