Demand-side approaches to value creation represent a new, bourgeoning area in the fields of technology innovation, entrepreneurship, and strategic management, examining such topics as “innovation ecosystems” and “consumer benefits.” Nonetheless, demand-side studies are scarce in the international business field. Important questions that remain include: What conditions facilitate the transfer of user-innovation knowledge in multinational organizations? How do multinational organizations drive cross-border innovation ecosystems? How do global nonprofit organizations and social enterprises support innovation ecosystems with cross-border collaborations? How does collaboration within an innovation ecosystem enhance the internationalization prospects of emerging market multinationals? How might demand-based approaches extend international business theories? This PDW starts with an overview of critical questions for research on the international aspects of demand-side perspectives. Panelists including Erkko Autio, Yves Doz, Marc Gruber, Benson Honig, Gianmario Verona, and Shaker Zahra will offer insights into this emerging research field. Participants will then break up into small groups facilitated by panelists and co-organizers. We will conclude with a discussion of insights gained and next steps for future research. This workshop builds on the theme of the Special Issue “From Resources and Value Chains to Consumer Benefits and Innovation Ecosystems: Demand-Side Perspectives in International Business” in the Journal of International Management. The PDW organizers – Ana Siqueira, Ronaldo Parente, and Richard Priem – will serve as guest editors of this special issue, which has a submission deadline on 11/20/13 and expected publication in 2015.
