Abstract :
This paper analyses the state-of-the-practice of software components produced in strategic partnerships. We call this kind of business original software component manufacturing (OCM), referring to the concept of original equipment manufacturing (OEM) that is well known in other industries. The analysis is mostly based on information acquired from Internet in Fall 2000, dealing with OCM supplier; brokering and buyer companies. Based on the analysis, the context of OCM is outlined and a suggestion made for further R&D activities
