Abstract

This research discusses about the dilemma of implementing open source in the selected Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) companies. In order to understand this current trend, the research focuses on two main stakeholders’ issues namely as; (1) an overview of how the management and its policies formulated to support the progression and the development for open-source sharing, and (2) a discussion of how the firms get involved in free and open source software sharing and R&D which include joining existing open source communities, creating new ones, free riding off for existing open source projects, or deciding to adopt open source software. However, when it comes to ensuring the quality of software from a security standpoint, was there really any difference between open source and licensing software and the dilemma for the organization either to move into the progressing line of open source or remain in the business as usual. In terms of research methodology, this research is based on quantitative and qualitative kind of with the aims to examine the level of awareness of Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) companies, as well as to envision the next level of ICT evolution. It is expected that the findings from this study, such as new inputs and elements would provide new insight and enable to refine the existing body of knowledge.
