| Replicating To Grow: Preliminary Evidence on the Market Value of Concept Replicators |
| Presenter | Winter, Sidney G. | U. of Pennsylvania | winter@wharton.upenn.edu | (215) 898-4140 |
| | In a business environment where competition on a global level
and rapid technological change are a fact of life for most firms,
managers are under increasing pressure to find new sources of growth.
Nonetheless, in recent years little research in strategic management
and organization theory has focused explicitly on growth.
This symposium on managing growth represents an opportunity for
scholars in strategic management and organization theory to reclaim
the debate.
The individual papers in the symposium cut different slices of the
growth-management picture and focus on different levels of analysis,
from the conceptualization of replication as strategy, down to the
micro-level investigation of cultural transmission within growing firms.
This structure presents an opportunity to pick up issue-, theory- and
level-specific questions in the management of growth and analyze them
in greater detail. At the same time, basing the symposium on multiple
perspectives allows for complementary discussion of common research
issues.
