A reuse business model

Abstract

This paper summarizes the decision framework for forming reuse business models and offers the Expert Services Model as a preferred first application of that framework. The Expert Services Model is only one possible approach, but one that we found is a good starting point. The framework for setting up a reuse plan consists of four major steps: define reuse, populate a library of reusable assets, share reusable assets, and maintain reusable assets.
