Abstract
A key issue in open strategy research concerns the inclusion of various actors in strategizing. In this paper, we focus on the role of strategy tools in enhancing openness in strategizing. The empirical setting is two cases of strategy development for digitization in one large firm. While strategy making in both cases was oscillating between closed and open practices, one case was treated with a special-purpose tool in a phase that remained for eyes only in another case. Our preliminary findings show that the design of the tool, in this case its ability to necessitate participation and its malleability, can enhance both the inclusion of a broader range of internal actors and their involvement to a greater extent.
