A central question for us as strategy scholars, especially in critical fields like biopharma and healthcare, is how we translate rigorous research into real-world impact. How do we move beyond the pages of journals and influence the strategic decisions that shape the industry? To participate in this exciting conversation, please join us for the SMS Extension on Rethinking Strategy & Innovation in Biopharmaceutical and Healthcare Industries.
Details and Registration: Rethinking Strategy & Innovation in Biopharmaceutical and Healthcare Industries - SMS
Our vision is to create a forum where cutting-edge research genuinely collides with high-stakes industry practice. We believe that to maximize the value of our scholarly work, we must engage directly with the leaders on the front lines. We are excited to share that both academicians and industry leaders have recognized the value of this dialogue and agreed to join us this October in San Francisco The Strategic Management Society Annual Conference.
The result is a rare convergence of perspectives, featuring:
🔹 A keynote from Anita McGahan (University of Toronto).
🔹 Leading academic perspectives from senior scholars Riitta Katila (Stanford University), Lamar Pierce (Washington University in St. Louis), and Francisco Polidoro (The University of Texas at Austin).
🔹 Real-world insights from industry leaders Cornelia Irl (VP at Genentech), Joshua Elkington (Founder and GP at Axial), and Peng Leong (CBO at BioAge Labs).
🔹 Plus cutting-edge research from emerging scholars Min Jung Kim (Korea University), Wesley Greenblatt (Harvard Medical School), Ambar La Forgia, PhD (University of California, Berkeley, Haas School of Business), Giacomo Marchesini (Copenhagen Business School), Sungyong Chang (Cornell University) discussed by Colleen Cunningham (University of Utah) and John Eklund (University of Southern California)
This workshop is designed for anyone in academia and industry who is committed to advancing healthcare strategy and innovation.
