Dr. Karl Michael Popp has broad knowledge and deep experience in the software industry. He is a member of the corporate development team at SAP, frequent presenter at conferences and author of many articles and books about the software industry.

“The student workbook is a wonderful companion for the book “Profit from Software Ecosystems” that adds another dimension to the way in which software ecosystems can be studied. The workbook challenges students to advance their knowledge of ecosystems and makes them question the status quo of business modeling in the software industry. I strongly recommend that the workbook is added to any book list that concerns software ecosystems and software business.”

The book by Popp and Meyer provides a comprehensive framework for students to understand the state-of-the-art in the software industry and its mechanisms. This unique book is a must for any student targeting a career in the software industry.”
