This Professional Development Workshop (PDW) aims to catalyze cutting- edge research in strategic management, with a focus on emerging and frontier markets and other underexplored institutional settings. The objective is to engage scholars in discussions that examine unexplored questions and encourage rigorous testing of existing theories in strategy, as well as the formulation of new theories that emerge from these unique contexts. Emerging and frontier markets—accounting for nearly 50% of global GDP and two-thirds of global growth over the past decade—pose unique challenges and opportunities for strategic management research. These markets often lack robust formal institutions yet possess influential informal systems that can inform new research frameworks. Moreover, the lack of structured, easily accessible data in these contexts requires researchers to take creative methodological approaches. The PDW aims to bring together established scholars who have studied these underexplored contexts and encourage a rich discussion on testing existing theories as well as formulation of new theories in strategy, that expand the scope of strategic management research to such understudied markets and institutional contexts.

Information for participants: The panel discussion of the session is open to all, however, capacity for the second half of the session related to the paper development workshop is limited due to the small- group, interactive roundtable/paper feedback format. We expect to be able to accommodate up to approximately 50 participants for the roundtable/paper feedback session. We therefore recommend that interested participants pre-register for the workshop using the Qualtrics survey form given here: https://upenn.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0Dl2DpT6w130psG. Participants interested in pre-registering must do so by June 30, 2024. Pre-registration is required for participants who wish to receive feedback on a paper proposal. All participants including those who have not pre-registered are welcome to attend the panel presentations in the first part of the workshop. As part of the pre- registration, participants will be asked to indicate if they are interested in joining the final group discussions. If so, they will need to submit a 5-page proposal and participants wishing to receive feedback should include their top 3 choices among the listed discussants for the PDW. Registration should also include the name, affiliation, and current position (student, assistant professor, full professor, etc.) of the participant. Participants should also send a paragraph stating any specific issues related to the proposal that they are interested in discussing. The information provided by the participants as part of the pre-registration will be used to allocate participants to roundtables and will also be distributed among discussants prior to the session. In order to make the roundtable paper feedback session the most beneficial to participants, we will be selecting abstracts based on project quality and research fit with the discussants.
