      abstract = {Both public policy and business management are  increasingly interested in how to manage trade secrets. One  of the driving forces is the growing significance of data  as an asset, as ‘oil of the 21st century'. Trade secrets  are often seen as the major Intellectual Property (IP) tool  for protecting data. There is also the understanding that  the need to share data is increasing to allow for new types  of innovation. This paper seeks to understand how data  sharing practices and the use of trade secrets are evolving  in the agricultural industries. Using explorative empirical  data from four in-depth case studies, the paper develops a  framework for data sharing practices, value sharing, and  trade secrets use. We find that current data sharing  practices pool around two scenarios, where data is not  shared or shared only with limited partners (hence closed)  and there are differences whether value created from the  data is shared. We conclude that a nuanced view on the use  of trade secrets in data sharing is mandated for both  IP/data managers and scholars analysing the topic.},
