In order to achieve levels of reuse that support attainment of the
organization's objectives, a comprehensive approach to motivating
reuse among all relevant players in the organization needs to be
developed. This position paper explores some of the issues
that arise in motivating reuse at different levels in the organization.
It posits that an integrated solution that relies on organizational
self-knowledge to align reuse incentives with reuse goals and the
organization's objectives will be more effective than isolated attempts
to eliminate the symptoms of reuse inhibitors.
