One may consider our concept of Open Entrepreneurship even as an approach towards the future of work building a democratized economy where everyone will become an entrepreneur and can be recruited (or rather recruits himself) for temporal projects in permanently changing constellations and forms of organization. Despite all promises of the so called digital revolution, one may not forget that a democracy like this will probably ever be a representative democracy not making it possible for everyone to participate to the same degree. The model therefore is helpful to improve the understanding of currently happening developments, but does not meet the requirements of solving any problems of society as the concept is not intended to achieve.

So the question remains open whether this approach is part of another organizational fashion or whether it really holds revolutionary potential. Probably the answer to that lies, like most answers to difficult questions, somewhere in between. Like in every oscillation there will stay something behind, possibly even deflecting the movement of the pendulum of organization slightly to another direction. The importance of this approach as of any other, even if they may contain characteristics of fashions, lies in providing permanent challenge to the dynamics of organization. In so far the democratizing creation of wealth in networks can be a contribution to the core of entrepreneurship: the destruction of existing, the creation of new – and thereby the permanent reinvention of organization.
