Strategic Management (STR)

The 2023 AoM Conference starts at the end of this week! 

This announcement calls attention to a recording developed by your officers and the time and location of several notable STR events at the annual meeting. 

The 2023 STR Officer recording is designed to broadly disseminate information regarding the “state of the division” to our members.  This recording summarizes several of the activities we completed this year and expresses our gratitude for the work completed by the nearly 100 STR members who contributed to our division this year. By publicly sharing this recording, we hope to increase the level of transparency regarding our efforts and allow us to spend more time recognizing and celebrating those making award-winning contributions to our field during the in-person meeting.  This recording is available here.

This announcement also calls attention to the time and location of a subset of the STR events at the annual meeting. While there are far too many fantastic symposia, paper sessions, and professional development events on the AoM program to list here, this announcement highlights events of general interest to STR members, including some locally organized events by the STR Membership Engagement Committee. 

I look forward to seeing you in Boston and invite you to approach me or other STR officers during the annual meeting!

STR Announcements: June Events

The STR Division completed several virtual events in May including conversations regarding the overlap with International Business and Organization Theory, Ph.D. networking events, and a MEC-sponsored Strategy Jam.  Thank you for participating. Our hope is that these sessions will spur future efforts to explore the boundaries associated with these and related fields of study. All STR events are available on our YouTube and BiliBili channels. 

In June, the MEC will sponsor another Strategy Jam and we will have a dialogue session exploring the intersection between Organization Design and Strategic Management research. I hope you will join the community enjoying these events and creating and disseminating ideas that matter for the field of strategic management!

Wednesday, June 28, 2023 (3:00 to 4:30 pm Eastern):

STR Distinctiveness Dialogue – STR & Organization Design

The STR Distinctiveness Dialogue Series focuses on the overlaps and distinctions between the Strategic Management division (STR) and complementary domains. The series aims to foster dialogue in areas of mutual interest by identifying: a) foundational assumptions and connections across prominent theories, b) distinctive contributions of each domain, and c) research opportunities at the intersection of the domains. In this session, we will focus on the contributions of research involving strategic management and organization design.

The panelists for this session are:

·         John Joseph (UC, Irvine)

·         Dan Levinthal (U of Pennsylvania)

·         Phanish Puranam (INSEAD)

·         Todd Zenger (U of Utah)

The session is organized and moderated by Srikanth Kannan with the assistance of STR EC member, Mahka Moeen (University of North Carolina).
