Abstract | Abstract Free and open source software (FOSS) has been increasingly adopted for humanitarian purpose worldwide, yet the factors for successful deployment of humanitarian \{FOSS\} in a disaster situation remain largely unexplored. Drawing upon the Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework, this study identifies the key issues in collaborative deployment of \{FOSS\} for humanitarian relief operations. The research further elaborates the key research issues by adopting a case study approach in which qualitative data were gathered from key informants from both private and public sectors. The results suggest that task–technology fit, expertise management, and inter-organizational relationship management play critical roles in humanitarian \{FOSS\} deployment. |
