Firm Scope, Governance, and Ownership in the Era of Digital Technologies
Tuesday, August 4, 2026, 9:45-11:15AM ET at Pennsylvania Convention Center: 100 Level: 113B
In this panel symposium, we ask: how are new technologies (AI, digital platforms, social media) changing the way firms organize and compete? The discussion will focus on how they challenge our assumptions about corporate governance, firm boundaries, and managerial control. If you're interested, join us at AOM in Philadelphia!
We're very excited to bring together five experts, who will each discuss one of the following topics:
- Sea-Jin Chang (NUS): Talent recruitment and management in the era of digital disruption
- Guoli Chen (INSEAD): Governance in the social media era: how boards and TMTs manage hybrid information environments
- Mark DesJardine (Dartmouth): Shareholder activism and ownership in an era of disruption
- Claudine Gartenberg (UPenn): Ownership, corporate ambidexterity, and AI adoption
- Myles Shaver (U of Minnesota): Examining the digital firm through a multi-business firm lens
