Description
Open strategy is an inclusive, transparent IT-enabled approach to organizational strategy used by a range of organizations (e.g., Daimler, IBM, Wikimedia). Open strategy has received increased research attention. However, this emerging research literature is not well integrated. No comprehensive “state of the art” review of open strategy research is available. In this paper, we integrate and synthesize the current state of knowledge on open strategy. The review considers (all) academic papers on open strategy available to date (64 papers). It discusses the findings of the open strategy literature following a comprehensive, process-centric framework. It pays particular attention to the role of IT in open strategy. The review identifies underexplored areas in open strategy and proposes a research agenda.
