Right before attending the EGOS Colloquium in Milano, University of Zurich’s David Seidl hosted an international workshop on Open Strategy (co-organized with Richard Whittington, Oxford University). Thanks to the great organizing team, the panel as well as the other plenary sessions were streamed and the video recordings are online available. I had the honor to kick-off the opening panel on “Taking Stock of Open Strategy”.
University of Zurich and Oxford University’s Said Business school host a joint workshop that “aims to bring together Open Strategy scholars and practitioners to discuss ongoing and future research projects”. The workshop is scheduled for July 1-2, 2024, right before the EGOS Colloquium in Milano that year and will be located at University of Zurich.
Participation requires the submission of extended abstracts (2,000 words) by January 25, 2024 to os@business.uzh.ch.
