Dear AOM Members,
We call your attention to our PDW session, "Global Restructuring: Innovation and Organization in a Borderless World", on Saturday, Aug 13 2011 10:15AM - 12:15PM at San Antonio Convention Center in Room 210 B.
We bring together scholars from diverse disciplines and perspectives to focus on the following critical inter-linked areas: (1) innovation trajectories and alternative scenarios arising from West - East interactions; (2) organizing principles in the context of global innovation – West and East; (3) institutional and other mechanisms for integrating industrialized and developing economies (West and East).
The PDW panelists' presentations will incorporate Q&A and dialogue with participants. Panelists include David Audretsch who has pioneered research on entrepreneurship and written numerous articles in leading journals. His latest books are The Entrepreneurial Society and Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Economic Growth. Dan (Danny) Breznitz, an Industry Study Fellow of the Sloan Foundation (2008), has conducted comparative research on Rapid-Innovation-Based Industries and their globalization. His books include Innovation and the State: Political Choice and Strategies for Growth in Israel, Taiwan, and Ireland (Yale University Press), (co-authored with Michael Murphree), and The Run of the Red Queen: Government, Innovation, Globalization, and Economic Growth in China. Felipe Monteiro focuses on knowledge sourcing by MNCs, open innovation, technology scouting and knowledge protection and emerging market multinationals and has published in Organization Science, MIT Sloan Management Review and Business Strategy Review. Michael Useem has authored many books and articles on leadership and decision making in Administrative Science Quarterly, California Management Review, Chicago Tribune, Fast Company, Fortune, Financial Times, Harvard Business Review, New York Times, Sloan Management Review, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal; he is also the editor of Wharton Leadership Digest. His latest book is "The India Way: How India's Top Business Leaders are Revolutionizing Management".Yanbo Wang's work spans economic sociology, technology entrepreneurship, venture capital, international strategy and the Chinese economy including competition dynamics between domestic and foreign firms in China. He focuses on factors shaping entrepreneurial behavior from both the positive perspective of knowledge creation and commercialization and the negative one of illegal activities such as financial fraud.
