Discussion: View Thread

Dear AOM Members,

We call your attention to our PDW session, “Innovation under Different Forms
of Capitalism”, on Sunday, August 11, 2013, from 12:30:00 PM - 2:30:00 PM at
the WDW Swan Resort in Room Osprey 2.

The PDW will examine variations in technological and social innovation under
different institutional conditions and forms of capitalism and focus on: (1)
the relationship between institutions and innovation systems; (2) the impact
of institutions on linkages for technology diffusion, capability building,
entrepreneurship, market formation and economic development both within and
across national systems; (3) impact of institutions on new models of
organization and pathways for the commercialization of innovations.

The panelists include:
