SMS Danube Extension: "Tapping into pockets of knowledge"

  • 1.  SMS Danube Extension: "Tapping into pockets of knowledge"

    Posted 08-20-2012 02:36


    Dear colleagues,

    We are would like to invite you to participate in the Strategic Management Society Danube Extension in scenic Austria - on Oct 4th/Oct 5th 2012 before the Strategic Management Society Annual Conference in Prague.

    The scenic region of Upper Austria with its clusters in the chemical, metal and creative industry is the perfect spot to experience and discuss the theme "Tapping into pockets of knowledge". The question how to acquire locally embedded knowledge and then leverage corporate exploration and exploitation has increasingly attracted scholarly attention over the last years. The Danube extension is framed around the logical chain from knowledge acquisition, to the challenge of establishing ambidextrous organizations and corporate change. It seeks to integrate perspectives on these topics from corporate strategy, international management, organizational theory, and technology management.

    The program includes a debate and dinner with top managers in the "Stahlwelt" exhibition center in Linz, Austria on Oct 4th and stimulating academic panels during a river cruise on the Danube that ends with a wine tasting in a scenic Austrian village on Oct 5th. 


    We would be delighted to see you at the extension!

    Tina Ambos & Wolfgang Güttel


    NB Participation in the SMS Danube Extension is independent of participation in the annual conference in Prague.
