Dear Colleagues:
You are cordially invited to attend the following PDW at the 2023 Academy of Management Meeting:
"Researching National Innovation Ecosystems for Startup Success: Insights from Brazil, Israel, and Norway"
Program Session: 176 | Submission: 13480 | Sponsors: IM, ENT, STR, TIM
Date: Friday, August 4, 2023 | Time: 2:00 – 3:30 PM EST
Location: Hilton Boston Back Bay – Second Floor, Salon A
Overview
As global economic competition becomes increasingly innovation-driven, policymakers in both government and business are actively searching for ways to increase innovation across industry sectors, particularly as it relates to tech startups. Past research on innovation policy tends to take a piece-meal investigative approach with focus on a single or narrow-set of explanatory variables, resulting in limited or ineffective policy recommendations. The proposed PDW seeks to develop a programmatic, cross-national research agenda to investigate the respective roles of a nation's formal and informal institutions, knowledge infrastructure, and firm capabilities in affecting innovative performance at multiple levels of analysis (country, region, city, company, individual). The session will be highly interactive with keynote speakers, panelists, and participants engaging in small group discussions to develop an agenda for future research with aim to form a global network for follow-on collaboration.
