The virtual symposium analyzes the past and future of global strategy, i.e., how managers guide their firms to address the opportunities and challenges of operating across countries in response to the continuous transformation in the global geopolitical, technological, and sociocultural contexts. The panel consists of current and former associate editors and coeditors of Global Strategy Journal who will share their expertise on what we have learned in the past and especially what they think are the most interesting developments in terms of topics and theories to analyze in the field.   We are excited to have seven panelists: *Gabriel Benito, BI, Norway *Alvaro Cuervo-Cazurra, Northeastern, USA *Rian Drogendijk, Groningen, Netherlands *Dan Li, Indiana, USA *Ram Mudambi, Temple, USA *Anu Phene, George Washington, USA *Steve Tallman, Richmond, USA   Panel moderator and master of ceremony: Gwen Lee, UF Warrington College of Business.   (c) STR - Strategic Management Division - AOM

In the past few years, the research on ecosystems and related concepts has burgeoned. In this virtual symposium we gather a panel of renowned scholars to discuss how the ecosystem framework can help us address some of the core strategy issues: How do ecosystems differ from other forms of organization, such as value chains, markets, alliances? How are the intertwined value creation and value capture processes affecting the way firms achieve competitive advantage in ecosystems? How does the ecosystem lens affect the way we think about firms’ boundaries?   The goal of the symposium is to highlight what is different about the topics of competitive advantage and theory of the firm in ecosystems, and how studying these topics in ecosystems might benefit the broader strategy field. Panelists: Olivier Chatain (HEC), Rahul Kapoor (Wharton ), PK Toh (University of Texas at Austin), Brian Wu (Michigan Ross)   Discussant: Marvin Lieberman (UCLA Anderson)   Organizers: Cameron Miller (Syracuse University) and Elena Plaksenkova (Ohio State University).   (c) STR - Strategic Management Division - AOM

This Oxford/Cambridge style debate on whether we need a new theory of the 'international' firm", given all the major changes we are going through in the world. What would a new theory of the international firm look like? What are the boundary conditions and shift parameters that such a new theory would entail? For theory testing, what would general models look like for such a new theory? Do we need a new approach that integrates strategic management and theories of the international firm, so we can better explain the changing nature of contexts, organizational forms, incentives, motivations, frictions, and stakeholders?   This panel debates whether a new approach that integrates strategic management and theories of the international firm help explain the changing nature of contexts, organizational forms, incentives, motivations, frictions, and stakeholders.   The original charge is: "There is no need for a new theory of the 'international' firm."   "For" side: Peter Buckley and Alain Verbeke, debating the current theories are adequate, "Against" side: David Teece and Jay Barney, debating that there is a need for a new approach.   Debate Panel Ilgaz Arikan, Moderator (Kent State University) Jay Barney (University of Utah) Peter Buckley (University of Leeds, UK) David Teece (University of California, Berkeley) Alain Verbeke (University of Calgary)   (c) STR - Strategic Management Division - AOM
