Research on how organizations address complex societal challenges is receiving growing attention in management studies. However, existing studies often remain confined within disciplinary silos (Beckman et al., 2023). Research on Open Social Innovation (OSI), drawing on social innovation, open innovation, and open organizing, has emerged to bridge these gaps by promoting research on participatory, inclusive, and cross-sector collaboration (Gegenhuber & Mair, 2024). However, research on OSI is still fragmented which hinders the development of comprehensive insights, particularly given the systemic nature of grand challenges. This Professional Development Workshop (PDW) aims to address this fragmentation by building a community of scholars across disciplines within AOM to develop a shared understanding of OSI, refine theoretical and methodological approaches, and establish a collective research agenda.
