Strategic Management (STR)

In April, STR has a new set of exciting virtual events lined up for you: On April 16 at 3pm London time, Richard Whittington (Oxford U) is hosting another event in our series of “STR: Impact and Relevance.” The panel will address “how strategy research can engage with state actors.” The panelists are Anna Grossman (Loughborough U, London), Aline Gatignon (Wharton), Pasha Mahmood (NUS), Mike Peng (UT Dallas), and Anthea Zhang (Rice).

On April 24 at 10AM Eastern Time, Philipp Meyer-Doyle (INSEAD) will host a symposium on Corporate Strategy. Four scholars will present their work: Colleen Cunningham (Utah), Mark DesJardine (Dartmouth), Catherine Magelssen (LBS), and Lisa Tang (NUS).

Dear STR members, 

Please remember to nominate qualified individuals to serve as the future leadership of STR. You can nominate directly on the AOM website (https://aom.org/) and the deadline is coming up in two days on February 29^th. 

I hope many of you have been able to participate in some of the virtual events that we hosted online this month. We also have a few events coming up in March: The Membership Engagement Committee (MEC) have two events that fit nicely with the “STR: Impact and Relevance” theme that we are focusing on this year.

On March 6^th, Bukky Oyedeji (London Business School) from the MEC is organizing and hosting Sourobh Ghosh (Audible), Jorge Fuentes (Carey), and Andrea Floyd (Maximus) for what I am sure will be an interesting discussion on “Insight to Impact: Synergizing Practice and Research in Strategic Management".

On March 12^th,  the MEC is hosting an event on the “Public Policy Contributions of Strategic Management” organized by Tadhg Ryan-Charleton (Queen’s University Belfast) that will feature a conversation with David J. Teece (U.C. Berkeley) and Annabelle Gawer (U Surrey). 

Finally, on the 21st of March, the global representatives led by Edgar Ramirez (Tecnologico de Monterey) are hosting a PDW for Central and North America. 

If you missed the February events you can find them on our home page as podcasts (https://str.aom.org/home) or on the STR Youtube channel. See you at one of the March events.
