Dear AOM Members,
We call your attention to our PDW session, "Globalizing Innovation: The Current Discourse" on Saturday, Aug 2, 2014 from 8:30AM - 11:00AM at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Room 203 A.
The PDW will examine the discourse on innovation from the perspective of both industrialized and emerging markets and focus on: (1) national innovation systems and institutional changes to influence the rate and direction of innovation and linkages with the global system; (2) mechanisms for stimulating growth and economic development via capability building, entrepreneurship and new market formation in the global system; (3) pathways for the commercialization of innovations locally and globally. Implications for sustainability will also be examined.
