    Dear Colleagues:

     

    You are cordially invited to attend the following live PDW at the 2021 Academy of Management Meeting:

     

    "Researching National Innovation Ecosystems:  Institutions, Infrastructure, and Firms"

     

    Program Session: 783 | Submission: 12235 | Sponsors: IM, STR, TIM

    Date: Monday, Aug 2, 2021 | Time:  9:00 – 11:00AM Eastern Standard Time

     

    Overview

    As global economic competition becomes increasingly innovation-driven, policymakers in both government and business are actively searching for ways to increase innovation at all levels of society.  Past research on innovation policy tended to take a piece-meal investigative approach with focus on a single or narrow-set of explanatory variables, resulting in limited or ineffective policy recommendations.  This PDW seeks to develop a programmatic, cross-national research agenda to investigate the respective roles of a nation's formal and informal institutions, knowledge infrastructure, and firm capabilities in affecting innovative performance at multiple levels of analysis and examine policy implications for governments, businesses, entrepreneurs, and other stakeholder groups. The session will be highly interactive with keynote speakers, panel commentators, and participants engaging in small group discussions to develop a preliminary research agenda that combines individual members' research interests with the aim of forming a global research network for follow-on collaboration.
