Open-source software (OSS) exerts a profound socio-economic influence across various dimensions of contemporary life. From a supply-side perspective, OSS initiatives have gained unprecedented significance, with a surge in contributions from profit-oriented companies. Concurrently, on the demand side, OSS has grown to play new and pervasive roles in contemporary organizations and society. Yet, OSS introduces distinct managerial challenges, prompting a critical reassessment of extant theories. This Professional Development Workshop (PDW) aims to help management scholars reassess and challenge established boundary conditions and design better theories with a particular focus on strategy research, including firm boundaries, knowledge sourcing, corporate strategy, innovation strategy, and strategic human capital, to name a few. This PDW also aligns closely with the theme of the 2024 AOM conference: Innovating for the Future.

The PDW includes three main parts: a keynote speaker, a panel of experts discussing their OSS research, and the paper development roundtables. The first two parts are open to all participants. The paper development roundtables are only open to participants who submitted an extended abstract and wished to receive feedback from the panelists. The PDW organizers will send out a call for extended abstracts in summer, and subsequently send invitations to participate in the roundtables at the AOM.
