Dear Colleagues:
Please join us for a panel symposium related to social and environmental value creation. We are very fortunate to have a panel of world class scholars on this topic who will share their research and thoughts about how best to advance theory and research on value creation for people and the planet. In addition to the panel discussion our session will also include a moderated Q&A session.
The event will be held at the Boston Hynes Convention Center (room 202) on Tuesday, August 8th at 10:00 am (EST). If you have already registered for the AOM conference, you can add the event to your personal itinerary using the link below:

ABSTRACT
In a world that is changing rapidly, due to environmental (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic, global warming), political (e.g., Ukraine-Russia war), or social (e.g., poverty) climates, businesses have voluntarily or involuntarily committed to societal and environmental goals (Pacheco, York and Hargrave, 2014; George, Merrill and Schillebeeckx, 2021). With the urgency to address some of the world's most urgent matters, more and more businesses, both locally and across the globe, are adopting initiatives that are "doing good." Thus there is a stream of work that has looked at how businesses are solving these world problems. Research in strategy and entrepreneurship is dominated by the firm's perspective on creating value from an economic point of view. Moreover, the use of proxies has limited our understanding of additional dimensions that capture value for other stakeholders, like neighborhoods, communities, and the environment. Therefore, there is a need to capture other dimensions of value creation and value capture that can more accurately depict what matters not only to businesses but to society in general. The purpose of this panel symposium is to engage a group of distinguished panelists in a formal, moderated, interactive discussion of (1) the terms above in the context of social and environmental value creation, impact, value capture and distribution; (2) the panelists' interpretation of them; (3) the relationships or differences among these terms; (4) the implications of theorizing on these topics; and (5) how they can be measured.
