Abstract
Part 5 of this dissertation is the second empirical investigation of OA as a dynamic construct and builds upon the findings of the first empirical study (Study 2). While Study 2 adopted a macro-process view in focusing on the development process of OA change, this study aims to go deeper to further analyze the multi-level dynamics inside the organization.
