Abstract: General awareness about and availability of Open Educational Resources (OER) have increased in recent years. While training institutions in the field of Management are still hesitant to incorporate OER in their strategies, selflearners are trying to find their way through the abundance of online learning materials. This article discusses the incentives and barriers for providers and users of OER in Management and Business education in the conceptual framework of non-formal and competence-based learning. It reviews the opportunities OER can provide to self-learners and entrepreneurs, in particular, if their specific demands are cared for. Additionally, it presents the OpenScout initiative as a practical solution to the various opportunities and challenges associated with OER use.
