We cordially invite you to attend the upcoming AOM PDW on " Converging Pathways: The Interdependence Between Innovation and Non-Market Strategy " at the Academy of Management Annual Meeting 2025 in Copenhagen. Participation is open for presentations and panel discussions, but pre-registration is required for feedback on research proposals from panelists.
Overview: Technological innovation frequently outstrips the ability of regulatory systems to adapt, creating a trade-off: how to harness innovation's potential while mitigating its risks. This PDW seeks to build relationships between innovation and technology entrepreneurship scholars and non-market strategy scholars – particularly those with an interest in regulation and social impact. It will introduce scholars to the various ways in which regulation can either stifle or facilitate innovation, as well as the inherent challenges in regulating new and emerging technologies. Furthermore, the PDW will explore how firms use unique strategies (e.g., scientific publications, lobbying) to shape regulation in their favor. Leading scholars in innovation and technology strategy and non-market strategy will draw on their research to discuss how organizations can strike the balance between innovation and regulation to maximize firm profits and social welfare. Furthermore, this PDW will explore emerging technologies such as FinTech and Artificial Intelligence, as well as issues within highly regulated industries like healthcare.
This PDW will follow a two-part format. In Part I, four leading scholars will share various perspectives on research opportunities at the intersection of innovation and nonmarket strategy. Part II will feature semi-structured, themed roundtable discussions between our distinguished panelists and participants who have submitted a short research proposal abstract. These roundtables will be organized around the shared interests of the submitting participants and panelists. Participants will receive valuable feedback and advice on their research from both the panelists and fellow participants.
Prospective participants should apply to the PDW by submitting an abstract of a research idea or paper (no more than 300 words) to be explored with the panelists and other participants.
To participate in the round table discussion, please fill in this form by July 10, 2025: [https://bit.ly/AOM25ConvergingPath ]. Acceptance notifications will be sent by July 18. If you have any questions, please contact Niki West (Nicole.West@UTDallas.edu) or Nur Ahmed (nura@uark.edu) or Michael Park (michael.park@insead.edu).
