Dear AOM Members,
We call your attention to our PDW session, "Innovation and New Market
Creation, on Saturday, August 4, 2012, 12:30:00 PM - 2:30:00 PM at the
Boston Hynes Convention Center, in Room 305.
We focus on the potential of innovation to catalyze economic development and
emphasize the following topics to foster new market creation: (1)
institutions to improve the innovation system; (2) linkages between emerging
markets and other innovation systems to enhance virtuous cycles of
capability building, entrepreneurship and introduction of novelty; (3) new
models of organization and pathways for commercialization of innovations.
