Overview
Business collective action (BCA)-the collaboration of private sector organizations and/or industries to achieve common objectives-is a widely prevalent yet largely understudied phenomenon. This oversight is lamentable since the organizational forms through which BCA occurs and the scope of activities it entails has the potential to challenge and enhance our existing theories of organizations. The objective of this professional development workshop is to shine a spotlight on the topic with the hope of generating discussion and debate, and stimulating further research in the area. We bring together a distinguished group of scholars conducting research in the area to share their expertise with the audience, and create vibrant discussions.

The "Beyond Markets" Series:
The Beyond Markets Series offers three PDWs examining the interactions of firms and non-market actors - members of civil society and the state. Providing resources for both research and teaching, the PDWs cover a broad range of topics that include stakeholders, social movements, alternative economic systems, and business collective action. The three PDWs conclude with a networking social for a chance to meet and mingle with the day's participants. Other PDWs in this series:
