We cordially invite you to attend the upcoming showcase presenter symposium co-sponsored by STR and TIM divisions on "How Intra-Organizational Interdependence Affects Strategy and Innovation". Please find the descriptions below.
Overview
Strategy and organizational theory scholars have long recognized the pivotal role that intra-organizational interdependence plays in guiding organizational design and search. Intra-organizational interdependence manifests as tradeoffs and complementarities between subsystems within complex organizations, thereby both producing challenges for coordination and presenting opportunities for synergy. These processes have deep and broad implications for corporate strategy, technology innovation, and entrepreneurial strategy. While being a central topic in strategy and organizations literature, empirical research on intra-organizational interdependence remains limited, partially due to methodological challenges in collecting data on intra-organizational interdependence and identifying its impact. However, in recent years, new tools, methods, and datasets have become available, providing promising opportunities to advance both the empirical investigation and theoretical insights into intra-organizational interdependence. Therefore, this symposium aims to promote conversations between scholars conducting theoretical and empirical research on intra-organizational interdependence. In particular, we bring together a group of leading scholars who will exchange their insights on key theoretical questions in intra-organizational interdependence that may be informed by empirical research and what novel data/methods can be exploited to make inroads into answering these questions.
