This virtual research symposium will feature cutting-edge research about how knowledge and innovation strategies at the individual, platform, industry, and regional levels interact with firm-level strategic management. Although strategy research primarily seeks to understand firm heterogeneity, many scholars focus on other levels of analysis for shedding light on firm-level dynamics. Each panelist will reflect on a) what we know about innovation at the respective level of analysis, b) how existing research about the respective level of analysis sheds light on strategic management questions at the firm-level, c) what research gaps exist to better make the link to firm-level strategic management issues.   Panelists: Michaël Bikard, INSEAD Tobias Kretschmer, LMU Munich Mahka Moeen, University of NorthCarolina Myles Shaver, University of Minnesota   Moderator: Elena Plaksenkova, Ohio State University (c) STR - Strategic Management Division - AOM
