This symposium addresses short-termism, marked by a preference for immediate gains over long-term value by managers and investors. Half a decade after the 2019 symposium on the same topic, extensive research has illuminated the multifaceted nature of short-termism. Despite recent advancements, many concerns and opportunities surrounding this phenomenon still remain unexplored. To address this, a panel of experts will share reflections and updates over the past five years of research, fostering nuanced dialogue on firm and market time horizons. Particularly relevant to scholars interested in the role of time in strategy, innovation, organizations, and society, this symposium provides a platform for interdisciplinary discussions on the temporal dimensions of organizational choices and outcomes.
