Studying Emerging Technologies
Saturday, September 30, 2023
09:00h – 12:00h (Walk-ins welcome for first half)
Sponsored by the Entrepreneurship & Strategy and Knowledge & Innovation Interest Groups and Research Methods Community
The strategy field has benefitted from extensive research done on historical data connecting the birth of new technologies and their impact on firms and society. These days, with the rapid emergence of new technologies and the pressing questions from the business world, researchers might need to study new technologies as they emerge.
The session will include a panel discussion (one hour and fifteen minutes) and application-based roundtable discussions (one hour and forty-five minutes). In the first portion, five renowned scholars will share their experiences studying the recent emergence of new technologies. Among the six of them, they will exhibit a variety of quantitative and qualitative methods of studying startups and/or established firms that fostered the emergence of various technologies. In the second portion, workshop participants will discuss their research and interests with panelists in roundtables. The roundtables will provide participants the opportunity to gain personalized feedback on their research ideas from faculty panelists.
Invited Panelists and Discussants: Kristina McElheran, Florenta Teodoris, Mahka Moeen, Doug Hannah, Erdem Dogukan Yilmaz, Callen Anthony, Carmelo Cennamo
Along with this outstanding panel, we will have interactive breakout groups to provide detailed paper feedback to accepted participants. Walk-ins are welcome for the first half of this workshop.
