Experiences about opening data in private sector: A systematic literature review

Open data has been described to, for example, reduce bureaucracy, remove corruption and lower the cost of a product. The discussion has mainly been over the data that has been provided by public organizations: governments, states, and municipalities. In this systematic literature review the aim is to see why private organizations would want to participate to open data initiative and how it would impact their operations. This study presents observed benefits and challenges as well as assumed implications. It was found out that the studied research is mainly speculative and observed results are shallow compared to the assumed and speculated benefits and problems.
