More and more scholars have started to examine the role of platform organizations in societal change. Despite advances, we still know too little about (1) the processes, practices, and rhetoric through which platform organizations promote new knowledge paradigms, social structures, and culture; (2) how, when, and with what effects platform organizations alter established organizations and forms of organizing; and (3) the responses to platform organizations, and the dynamics these responses set in motion. Against that background, this PDW aims to inspire future research (Part 1) and to give feedback on working papers on this topic (Part 2). Part 1 can be attended by everyone. Part 2 requires the submission of a short paper. The PDW is linked to a special issue in Organization Studies.

Please apply for Part 2 until Monday July 22 2024 by filling out a short form and uploading a short paper (max. 5 pages without references and tables/figures) here: https://forms.gle/Utc8YmfzJy3ebTYe9
