…
The contradiction between the vision of OI and the reality of social borders thus provokes the central questions to be discussed:
- What impact do political, economic, legal, educational, scientific, or further social borders have on both intra-national and transnational OI projects?
- What are the ethical dimensions of open innovation in general and transnational OI in particular (keywords: working consumer, prosumer)?
- What forms of international OI and what corresponding strategies do we know both from literature and from case studies?
- What opportunities does transnational OI provide for the establishing international justice in terms of a more balanced access to resources, competencies, and markets?
- What borders do OI strategies have to cross at the intra-national level? In what spheres of society does open innovation (not) work successfully? Are OI projects closed for certain organisational forms, professional groups, ages, or genders?
