We aim to strengthen the field of business administration by creating a research culture that promotes transparency, traceability and shared responsibility. When it comes to implementing Open Science, the hurdles lie less in the scientific community’s willingness and more in structural conditions: a lack of incentives, inadequate infrastructure, a shortage of skills, unclear procedures, legal restrictions and high costs. The VHB Executive Board has therefore decided to establish an Open Science Working Group.
Objectives:
- To systematically strengthen the focus on this topic within the VHB.
- To identify the potential of Open Science for business administration.
- To identify obstacles to implementation.
To develop recommendations for action by the end of 2026.
