Richard Straub, Is the World Open?, in EFMD Global Focus Volume 02_Issue 01 2008
The idea of “openness” is emerging as a dominant attribute of key developments in our economic and social fabric. We talk about open societies, open innovation, open standards, open ecosystems, open source and open architectures – all using more or less consciously the foundational thinking from 20th century systems theory.
An open world is a world of great opportunity and challenge. It requires changes in our individual behaviours and attitudes and it demands major institutional adjustments. Business and academia will have to find much better synergy to face the challenges of tomorrow’s world.

Richard Straub, Competing in a 'Flat' World - Innovation and Openness for Lifelong Learning, 2007
Technology’s innovative and transformative powers have been a source of great expectations and challenges. Ever since Peter Drucker coined the term “knowledge worker” back in 19691, we have seen the surge of an increasingly
globalized knowledge economy, fueled by information and communication technology. The fusion of technology and globalization has produced new ways to adapt, innovate and learn in a fast changing environment.
