The workshop is designed to encourage the sharing of ideas, to develop and strengthen emerging work relating OI and strategy, and to establish strong research networks and collaborations to drive the research agenda forward.

Submissions may be theoretical, conceptual or empirical. We particularly encourage the submission of seed ideas or early draft papers rather than highly developed work.

Submissions from established academics, early career researchers and PhD students are welcome.

A maximum of 30 submissions will be selected for discussion at the workshop.
