Dear Entrepreneurship colleagues,
For those going to the Academy of Management conference and having an interest in open innovation and related topics, please consider attending our PDW on Researching Open Innovation (http://my.aom.org/Program2017/SessionDetails.aspx?sid=10041). We have been running this workshop a couple of times, and it has been well attended with many useful discussions and insights. It is a great opportunity to discuss your research interests with some of the leading scholars in the field. See below for more information and for registration link.
Best,

Researching Open Innovation: Theoretical Perspectives and Empirical Settings for Future Research
Saturday, Aug 5 2017 4:45PM - 6:45PM at Hyatt Regency Atlanta in Regency Ballroom V
Sponsors: TIM, BPS, ENT, OCIS
Open innovation is a management concept that describes the purposive management of knowledge flows across organizational boundaries. It has attracted significant attention from management researchers and has been studied using a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives. At the same time, researchers in a growing number of disciplines and divisions are attracted to this domain. And while our understanding of open innovation is generally increasing, many challenges in researching open innovation remain. Being the fourth consecutive PDW on this topic, it gathers a number of active scholars conducting research related to open innovation. These scholars will share and build on their experiences in researching open innovation to identify some key challenges-and associated opportunities-to help advance research in this domain. By building on recently identified open innovation research categories, the facilitators will introduce and discuss these challenges, which cover a broad range of levels of analysis and various theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches, and they will then moderate a roundtable discussion with interested participants. Pre- registration (by submitting a short text with research interests) is recommended for the roundtables, which have pre-defined topics, but attendance is open as long as space permits.
The first version of this PDW was organized in 2014, and the earlier PDWs have resulted in a publication (with twenty- three involved authors) in Industry & Innovation. This article proposes a number of research categories that are used to frame this version of the PDW. Facilitators will first present a short "pitch" of their interest in researching open innovation, and then discuss the related opportunities and challenges together with the participants in their respective roundtables.
Pre-registration is required for this session. To register online, please visit
