Testimonials
The Open Strategy Network mobilizes research and fosters collaboration on the emerging phenomenon of strategic openness. It is therefore of great interest and value to organizational and strategy scholars, students in business and management, practitioners such as consultants and strategy staff in established businesses, and anyone concerned with new trends in strategy development.
David Seidl, Professor of Organization & Management, University of Zurich
Open Strategy is about embracing stakeholders. This applies not only to strategy processes in practice but also to Open Strategy research itself. The Open Strategy Network is an open and generative meeting place for all researchers interested in Open Strategy.
Richard Whittington, Professor of Strategic Management, University of Oxford
I highly value the OSN network for its ability to facilitate connections and collaborations among researchers and practitioners, which is essential for advancing the very praxis-oriented research field of Open Strategy. Moreover, the network is particularly beneficial for new researchers in this area as it serves as a valuable resource for gaining in-depth knowledge and insights on the topic.
Julia Hautz, Professor of Strategic Management, University of Innsbruck
To take full advantage of an Open Strategy approach, distinctive perspectives and skills are essential – the Open Strategy Network can help us connect with scholars and practitioners to constantly refine our Open Strategy Toolbox and expand our IMP Experts Community.
Stephan Friedrich von den Eichen, IMP Unternehmensberatungs GmbH, Germany
Openness as an organizational principle is being embraced by more and more organizations. However, it is important to recognize that some level of closure may be necessary to effectively implement Open Strategies. The Open Strategy Network provides a platform to engage in meaningful discussions and to exchange ideas on this and many other facets of open organizing.
Leonhard Dobusch, Professor of Organization & Learning, University of Insbruck
As a strategy scholar, I find the Open Strategy Network an invaluable resource. The platform provides a great overview of the latest publications, videos, and events related to the topic of Open Strategy. Also, the community of scholars and practitioners organized within the OSN is extremely knowledgeable, which has proven to be of great benefit for my own research.
Violetta Splitter, Associate Professor of Strategy, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford
The Open Strategy Network provides an excellent platform for Open Strategy researchers to connect and keep each other up-to-date on developments in the research areas and potential opportunities for collaboration.
