A Platform for Publishing Insights by Leuphana Students
Noncommercial, Digital, Open Access
OS Insights is a non-commercial, open-access platform that provides management students of the Leuphana University of Lüneburg with the opportunity to publish insights generated in seminars. The platform is based on the idea that universities are sites where knowledge production and consumption are not separable and sequenced, but intertwined. In this view, university-based teaching is more than just the transmission of knowledge produced through up-front research. Instead, courses and seminars open up opportunities for jointly reflecting on important phenomena. In doing so, they serve as a springboard for potentially developing original insights that shed light on organizational, strategic, and entrepreneurial theories, approaches, and phenomena.
For the sake of quality assurance, all works published on OS Insights are editorially reviewed. These works fall into the following areas.
OS Insights publishes online-only, open-access edited collections of contributions by Leuphana’s management students. These collections are aimed at management scholars and students. Their contributions shed light on theoretical concepts and approaches through applications and spur ideas for future research through thought-provoking essays.
Posts published on the OS Insights Blog are composed by Leuphana’s management students. These blog posts translate theoretical ideas generated in the areas of organization, strategy, and entrepreneurship into insights that are useful for practitioners.

This edited collection aims to make a contribution to management and organization research on accelerators by providing new directions for the field. Through a series of essays, students of the Leuphana University of Lüneburg challenge overlooked, repressed or concealed, contentious, and fleeting aspects of accelerators that future research may examine more systematically and in greater depth.
In this thoroughly revised edited collection, Leuphana Bachelor students draw on management and entrepreneurship theories, concepts, and approaches to shed light on what it means to be a manager or entrepreneur in selected cases. In doing so, the contributions provide a vivid, illustrative introduction to the foundations of management and entrepreneurship across the history of management and entrepreneurship research and education, from early classics to more contemporary perspectives.
In this edited collection, Leuphana master students in management & entrepreneurship draw attention to accelerators as a form of organizing through which actors aim to systematically produce innovation. In doing so, they problematize the paradox of producing novelty and change through the continuity of organizing.
