许多研究审查了在公司一级采用开放源码软件的潜在促进者和抑制者。这项研究是首次尝试提出和测试一个多层次的框架，研究五个国家一级的变量和两个开发不足的公司一级的因素对公司采用开放源码软件的影响。研究结果表明，一个国家的不确定性回避取向有一个积极的影响，而权力距离取向和经济发展有负面影响的OSS采用。此外，在国家一级避免不确定性为公司一级基于信息技术的网络的影响设定了界限，当避免不确定性的程度高而不是低时，专有的基于信息技术的网络的影响变得更强，而开放的基于信息技术的网络的影响变得更弱。该研究还从这些发现中发展了公共政策含义。
Numerous studies examine potential facilitators and inhibitors of open source software (OSS) adoption at the firm level. This study represents the first attempt to propose and test a multi-level framework, examining the effects of five country-level variables and two under-explored firm-level factors on firm OSS adoption. The findings suggest that a country's uncertainty avoidance orientation has a positive impact on OSS adoption, whereas power distance orientation and economic development have a negative impact on OSS adoption. In addition, uncertainty avoidance at the country level sets boundaries for the effect of firm-level IT-based networks in a way that the impact of proprietary IT-based networks becomes stronger, but that of open IT-based networks becomes weaker when uncertainty avoidance is high rather than low. The study also develops public policy implications from these findings.
