| The study of open innovation attracts a broad swath of scholars from various disciplines that draw from a wide range of extant theories and methods. While this diversity enables richness of ideas and perspectives, it can also create barriers to communication, collaboration and publication across the field. How can we weave together the methods and insights captured by different research approaches to gain a more complete view of how opening access to information impacts innovation, firm strategy, work-practices and improve lives? To answer this question, this PDW will delve into the challenges scholars face contributing to this diverse field through a panel presentation and discussion highlighting the work of five scholars with distinct methodological approaches. By focusing on determinants of research design, methodology tradeoffs and the promise and pitfalls of mixed-methods approaches, we aim to cultivate deeper communication across the field and devise steps for engaging in fruitful future collaboration. |
