Dear AOM Members,
We call your attention to our PDW session, "Sustaining Innovation in a Global
System", on Saturday, August 8th, from 12:10 to 2:40 pm at Hyatt Regency
Chicago in Addams.
We bring together scholars from diverse disciplines and perspectives to focus on
topics relevant to sustaining innovation in a rapidly integrating global system
where national systems of innovation are individually insufficient to address
global challenges such as competition, climate change, pollution, and economic
crises.
The PDW panelists’ presentations will incorporate Q&A and dialogue with
participants.
Topics will be related to the following critical inter-linked areas: (1)
Characterizing a global system and providing perspectives on ‘sustaining
innovation’; (2) mechanisms of globalization of innovation including
institutions (public and private), firm strategies, organizational forms; and
(3) the impact of globalizing innovation on firms, nations, and regions.
The panel includes David Audretsch who has pioneered research on
entrepreneurship and regional innovation. His latest book is Entrepreneurship,
Innovation and Economic Growth. Jeff Furman has published papers on academic
science and the pharmaceutical industry, public and private spillovers, location
and strategy and national innovative capacity. Gary Herrigel’s research focuses
on the changing boundaries of firms and the arrangements that govern them in
Europe (especially Germany), the United States and Japan. His latest book is
Manufacturing Possibilities: Creative Action and the Recomposition of Industrial
Practice in the U.S., Germany and Japan. Gerry McDermott research focuses on
problems of institutional and organizational learning in the formation of
meso-level, public-private governance institutions in emerging market and
post-socialist economies, and includes a book Embedded Politics: Industrial
Networks and Institutional Change in Postcommunism. Gita Surie’s research
focuses on cross border innovation, technology transfer, distributed
entrepreneurship and development and alliances between entrepreneurial and
multinational firms, and includes a book, Knowledge, Organizational Evolution
and Market Creation: The Globalization of Indian Firms from Steel to Software.
Pre-registration is not required but recommended. You are encouraged to submit
abstracts prior to attending the workshop.
