About Us
DiO is a community of scholars interested in the study of decentralized forms of organizing: Platform ecosystems, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and less hierarchical organizations (self-managing or bossless organizations). We facilitate dialogue and knowledge sharing among researchers who study decentralization across levels of analysis and methodologies. Our goal is to spark dialogue and advance common understanding about the concept of decentralization across these streams of research.
Annual DiO Conference
Our annual DiO Conference enables in-depth discussions about the role of decentralization in organizations. Researchers present their current research, exchange insights, and engage in rich discussions about the role of decentalization in contemporary organizational phenomena.
