Call for Papers - WOIC 2017 Dear Colleague,
It is with great pleasure that we announce the Call for Papers for the 4th Annual World Open Innovation Conference, to be held on December 14-15, 2017 at the San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront in Burlingame, California.
The goal of the World Open Innovation Conference (WOIC) is to bring theory and practice closer together. We seek the latest in academic research on open innovation, and combine that in our program with challenges faced by industry executives who manage innovation in their organizations. As a new addition, the 4th WOIC will also engage policy makers to better understand the opportunities and challenges associated with designing effective open innovation policy measures. This is also in line with this year's conference theme, "Strategic and Public Policies for Open Innovation".
We are seeking both traditional research papers and those with a more managerial or policy orientation. From the accepted submissions, we will be selecting two academic award winners: the Best Student Paper Award and the Best Emerging Scholar Paper Award.
A separate Call for Challenges will be used to identify relevant practical issues faced in managing innovation and attract industry participants, while the conference will also feature particular practitioner awards.
Please see the conference website (http://woic.corporateinnovation.berkeley.edu) or Call for Papers (http://bit.ly/2o4Yu1g) for more information on possible topics and award criteria.
