Innovation Processes Track: Endogenous Shaping of the Business Environment

The purpose of our panel symposium is to stimulate the emergent research on endogenous shaping of business environments. Distinguished scholars who have studied this subject from different perspectives will provide their insights on the ‘who,’ ‘when,’ and ‘how’ of shaping, as strategic actors seek to construct and alter their future business environment. Bringing these different perspectives together creates the opportunity to move the field forward in a systematic way. In addition, the discussion would highlight future avenues for theorization and empirical research that will take our understanding of shaping of the business environment a step further.
