Call for Attendees and Research Proposals
- Registration and Submission Deadline: June 30, 2026
- Register at: https://forms.gle/WdSV75ve43D9SxdHA
- Scheduling info: July 31, 2026 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM ET at Convention Center, Room 124
Please join our cutting-edge PDW on Open-Source Software (OSS), which will be held at the Academy of Management 2026 Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, USA.
This PDW aims to foster a community-level dialogue about the ways in which OSS is challenging the boundary conditions and relevance of existing strategic management theories. By doing so, it seeks to encourage management scholars to critically evaluate and, where needed, innovate upon current theoretical frameworks to better align with the complex socio-technical arrangements of OSS.
It is not mandatory to submit your work to attend the first two sections of the PDW (keynote speech and panelist presentations). Regardless of your type of participation, please register your attendance at this Google Form [link]. The registration and submission deadline is the 30th of June 2026 (23:59 EDT).
Participants who want to take part in the third component of the PDW are required to submit an extended abstract of no more than two pages, excluding references and any charts, graphs, diagrams (etc.) with a font no smaller than 12-point double-spaced. Please enclose the title, author's names, and institutions in the document (accepted format: .docx or .pdf).
Due to time constraints, we can only accept a limited number of submissions for roundtable discussion. We will, therefore, select submissions based on their fit with the PDW and quality. We will follow up with a decision regarding the submission after July 10. Please note that as with all AOM program activities, submitting your application implies a commitment to attend and participate in the breakout sessions if accepted.
In case of any questions, please do not hesitate to email us at:

We look forward to seeing you in person at the PDW!
