“Zeit für Wissenschaft” ist der Titel der offiziellen Podcast-Reihe der Universität Innsbruck, in denen sich Melanie Bartos mit WissenschaftlerInnen ausführlich über ihre jeweilige Forschung unterhält. In der Ausgabe 32 der Podcast-Reihe war Leonhard Dobusch vom Institut für Organisation und Lernen das Gegenüber und sprach mit Melanie Bartos über Open Source, Creative Commons, Wikipedia und das Thema organisationale „Offenheit“ ganz allgemein.
Fueled by new digital technologies and by the perceived success of concepts such as ‘open innovation’, we can observe a growing interest in open forms of organizing more generally both among practitioners as well as among organization scholars (see also the wiki-based course on the matter). One such new field representing the interest in organizational openness is the realm of strategy research under the label of ‘Open Strategy’. The recently launched online community platform ‘Open Strategy Network‘ tries to connect and foster exchange among scholars interested in this emerging phenomenon.
The platform has been initiated by David Seidl and Violetta Splitter (University of Zurich) together with Richard Whittington (Oxford University) and myself. Registered users will be able to contact each other and browse through open strategy articles listed in the bibliography. Currently, the number of entries in the bibliography is limited but several articles on different facets of open strategy are already in the pipeline – for instance, Long Range Planning will soon feature a special issue on ‘Open Strategy – Transparency and Inclusion in Strategy Processes‘.
