The Management of Open Value Creation

In our study we strive to develop a framework for the management of open value creation adoption. We conducted eighteen in-depth interviews with IS (information systems) executives and consultants responsible for open value creation projects. We combine the results of our software-supported qualitative analysis with insights from a broad range of existing related literature to develop a concise framework. The framework encompasses six major categories of managerial competences that are necessary for successful open value creation by an organization. The framework contributes to IS research and IS practice by providing both the base for further research and a useful guide for practitioners.
