Panel Symposium Session 554
Solving Societal Grand Challenges: Emerging Frameworks and Practical Implications
Baltic room at the Westin hotel, Sunday, August 6 at 8:00-9:30AM
Summary:
The study of societal grand challenges has drawn increasing attention in management research. Despite the various remedies that were proposed, challenges such as economic inequality and the concentration of wealth, climate change, overuse of resources, hunger, and social divide and unrest, have worsened. This symposium takes stock of extant approaches and offers novel approaches for overcoming these challenges. The panelists will share their views and research findings concerning the limitations of established approaches in management research for solving societal grand challenges and highlight the prospects of some emerging approaches. Finally, the panelists will engage in discussion with the audience to encourage and direct further research on possible solutions to these challenges.
