Research Questions

What are the 5 to 10 biggest non-profit companies in this field?

  • How is the market distributed?
  • Where are they located? Are there any incentives for specific locations?
  • Correlate them with their main outputs (Data. Narratives. Tools)
  • Understand and identify cases where these companies are “experimenting” or “adopting” commons based approaches
  • Identify these cases and treat them as entities that will also be placed in our mapping device (the quadrants).
  • Identify what non-profits are the “Microsofts” of the field and what companies are the “IBMs” of the field.(Use the questionnaire to guide your research when appropriate - Carol will select specific relevant and helpful questions)
