[U06-P03] Discussion of Possible Change of the Academic Research System based on the Open Science Paradigm from a viewpoint of the Disruptive Innovation phenomena in Economics
★Invited Papers
Keywords:Open Science, Research Data Management, Cultural Change of Research
The Innovator's Dielemma (Chrsitensen, 1997), authored by Clayton Christensen, a well-known ecnomist of Harvard Business School, described that the successful practice in an enterprise strengthens the paradigm which led them to the existing succcess story and their market, and then they will lose the market because the disruptive innovation of a small start-up enterprise having different culture and developing new market customers will dominate the market in the end. The market product with the disruptive innovation have a limited function and/or lower specification in the early stage, however they brings a new concept to the market and the society to open a new market where the traditional industry cannot overcome after a certain period of time (like a digital camera vs. pohotographic file paradigm, iPad/iPhone's new business model vs. the old-style feature phone market etc.). In the early stage, the start-up people cannot explain any evaluation of scales of the future market and customer types/amounts, because the market is to be developed after their product made the change of customers' daily lives and behaviors.
In the academic research community,the Open Science paradigm claims we need a new culture or a cultural change in addtion to the trasitional scientific resaerch communities and ecosystem. If the Christensen (1997)'s concept can be also adapted to the scientific enterprise, the way of conducting resaerch, writing and publishing papers, and sharing/teaching scientific knowledge have been achieving a very stable and successful practices for hundred years, and at the same time, if the Open Science concept can bring any idea of the disruptive innoation in the academic system, the current huge investment in promotion of Open Sciene and developing digital infrastrcutures in Europe, US and other countries/regions may open a new way of coducting science, sharing science, and enjoying the science with the other sectors and the general society, with welcoming the new culture and scholarly research norms in the future research community. And then for now we cannot expect or predict the how large and successful the "new market" and "participants'community (instead of using the term "customers") of Open Science.
Those are all just an assumption right now and we could try to explore how the scientific and general society can accept the new paradigm or not.
