Dear BPS fellows,
We would like to draw your attention to the following Panel Symposium 'Categories or Submarkets: Different Perspectives on Within-Industry Heterogeneity', sponsored by the BPS, TIM, OMT divisions. The strength of this panel lies in the great ambition it has to integrate categorical dynamics and submarket dynamics into industry evolution theories. This brings distinct groups of scholars from organization theory, industrial organization, and strategic management back together.
The symposium will take place at the Academy of Management Meeting in Vancouver, on Tuesday, Aug 11 2015 1:15PM - 2:45PM at Vancouver Convention Centre in Room 211. The details of the event are as follows:

This heterogeneity has been defined through various terms, such as strategic groups, niches, segments, categories, or submarkets, each focusing on diverse features of the product characteristics space. On one hand, industry evolution literature has gradually shifted to studying industries persisting as fragmented and heterogeneous product markets that offer new opportunities for entrants. On the other hand, a recent research stream on economic sociology and organization theory focused on how cognitive representations of economic actors divide markets into categories. Although these two different fields have different perspectives to understand heterogeneity within industry structures, there is a potential to inform each other. In this symposium, after briefly going over what have we have learned on theories of heterogeneity within industry and market structures so far, we will draw on these two different research fields in order to bridge established theories in these fields, and aim to come up with a further research agenda to inform both of these fields in their shortcomings. | | Search Terms: Categories | Submarkets | Within Industry Heterogeneity | | Tweet this session #AOM2015 1938 | | |
