Dear colleagues,
The submission deadline for our
Call for Papers for the
Owners as Strategists Conference is approaching. Submission will close on
Friday, April 16, 2021.
The 1st conference on Owners as Strategists, held online on June 8 and 9, 2021, aims to facilitate the development of new theory and stimulate novel discussions about how ownership shapes firm strategy. A strategic ownership perspective acknowledges that ownership implies control over the firm and its resources, and gives owners the right to decide how value is created. The theoretical and practical need of studying ownership in relation to firm strategy is pressing as ownership around the world is (again) becoming progressively concentrated in the hands of owners such as entrepreneurs, families, cooperatives, asset managers, foundations and states. The goal of the conference is to bring together a diverse set of scholars with an interest in ownership, governance, and strategy to address the overarching question of what the role of ownership is for firm strategy.
