    Appropriability is a core issue in strategy, innovation management and entrepreneurship. It concerns the extent to which firms or individuals can capture the value generated from their investments (Arrow, 1962; Levin et. al. 1987; Schumpeter, 1950; Teece, 1986). The way in which firms operate, the dynamics of competition and the role of individuals in the product value chain have changed dramatically in the last decades. This calls for the need to reflect more deeply on the issue of appropriability, in order to understand the extent to which some of the core assumptions made, and conclusions reached by existing research in this area are still valid, and to identify new research trajectories. To this end, the symposium will foster an interactive discussion stimulated by the intervention of leading scholars. The key themes discussed will include the strategies used by firms to generate value from their ideas, the type of value that can be generated from ideas, and the isolating mechanisms that firms can use to appropriate value. The symposium will also look at the micro- and macro- implications of the issue by exploring, respectively, the role of individuals and the dynamics of technological change.

     

    We look forward to meeting you in Philadelphia!

     

    Best Regards

    Elena Novelli
