Hello
I suggest you to read, if you didnt read yet, The Cathedral and The Bazar from Eric Raymond.
http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-ba zaar/
I have just finished to read Open Sources, Voices From the Open Source Revolution.
Take a look at chapter "Open Source as a Business Strategy" wrote by Brian Behlendorf.
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/
It compares Software Development in "Close Source" projects and "Open Source" projects, maybe it can helps you to design a model business model.
But to really convice the "managers" you should focus in "lower costs" :)
