    Dear colleagues,

    We cordially invite you to attend our showcase symposium on "Short-Term Versus Long-Term Thinking in Corporations and Markets: A Half-Decade Update," (14943) on Monday, August 12, 2024, from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM CT (GMT-5/UTC-5) at the Sheraton in Mississippi.

    This symposium addresses the ongoing debate between short-termism, marked by a preference for near-term returns, and the pursuit of long-term value by managers and investors. Half a decade after the 2019 symposium on the same topic, extensive research has illuminated the multifaceted nature of short-termism. Despite recent advancements, many concerns and opportunities surrounding this phenomenon still remain unexplored. To address this, a panel of experts will share reflections and updates over the past five years of research, fostering nuanced dialogue on firm and market time horizons.

    Particularly relevant to scholars interested in the role of time in strategy, innovation, organizations, and society, this symposium provides a platform for interdisciplinary discussions on the temporal dimensions of organizational choices and outcomes. We thank our distinguished panelists for their support and brilliant contributions (listed in alphabetical order):

    1. Mary J. Benner - University of Minnesota, on "Why firms may face different pressures for short-termism?"
    2. Dhvani Badwaik - University of Rhode Island & David Souder - University of Connecticut, on "Why firms may face different pressures for short-termism?"
    3. Valen Boyd - Ivey Business School, on "How do organizations make trade-offs for sustainability when facing intense intertemporal pressures"
    4. Weiru Chen - China Europe International Business School (CEIBS), on "Serendipitous view of short-termism"
    5. Rosa Kim - Oklahoma State University, on "Why firms may face different pressures for short-termism?"
    6. Paul Nary - The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, on "Private equity as a remedy for short-termism"

    We look forward to seeing many of you there. For further questions, please feel free to reach out to the organizers:
