Building on the insights from eight previous AOM caucuses and publications from this group, this caucus considers how organisations innovate to be uniquely different (to be competitive) and uniquely the same (to conform institutionally) once their purpose for innovating (and being) is agreed and proactively acted upon by its key stakeholders. This work has the potential to inform strategic management, strategy as practice, organizational change, organizational behavior, organizational theory, human resource and project scholarship. Previous caucuses have already led to a special issue, edited book of chapters involving 17 scholars and symposia on the subject. The caucus group is currently working on a book that explores modern strategy, change and transformational project leadership practices. Other collaborative projects are currently being planned. We believe this caucus would be of great interest to practitioners too, as much still needs to be learned about how the strategy and change interface can be navigated to achieve innovation success.

Light refreshments will be served. All welcome.
