To help identify and develop the best new theoretical and applied research in open innovation, we are organizing the first annual World Open Innovation Conference (WOIC). The conference will allow leading open innovation scholars to present their work, interact with other scholars studying related topics, and hear the latest trends in open innovation research.
A special feature of the conference will be the engagement of open innovation managers to understand and discuss future research on the key challenges they face today. A separate Call for Problems will be used to identify relevant problems and managerial participants.
Conference papers will be selected by the co-chairs from among extended abstracts submitted through the conference website. Select papers from the conference will be published in a special section of Industrial and Corporate Change that will be edited by the conference chairs.
Extended abstracts of 1,500-3,000 words are due by July 1, 2014. For other dates, suggested topics and submission guidelines, see http://bit.ly/WOIC2014 or contact Joel West at joel@openinnovation.net.
