Title: Strategic Management of Emerging Technologies
Abstract: Innovation is widely regarded as a crucial source of competitive advantage in an increasingly uncertain environment. More recently, we have witnessed a substantial rise in interest in emerging technologies in business that have the potential to reshape the economy and boost productivity across all sectors and industries. However, achieving successful development of emerging technologies holds great uncertainty requiring strategic management. Many emerging technologies involve a direct upfront cost, while their benefits may be long-term and unquantifiable, and thus increase the level of uncertainty in establishing market relevance. More theoretical development needs to be done to link higher, macro levels to organizational and individual levels. Studying emerging technologies has critical managerial and policy implications. We are particularly interested in how the consideration of such technologies changes or challenges our theories, methods, and research questions. The proposed symposium seeks to bring together papers that address these issues.
