    "Corporate strategy: a driver of real sustainability transformation, or just symbolic alignment?"

    Dear Colleagues,

    Firms increasingly link corporate strategy decisions—such as acquisitions, divestitures, and restructuring—to their sustainability efforts. Yet the question remains: Does corporate strategy function as a vehicle for substantive sustainability transformation, or does it primarily enable symbolic alignment with stakeholder expectations?

    If you are attending the upcoming AOM Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, please join us for an Oxford-style debate on this question.

    • Panelists: Petra Christmann (Rutgers University), Glen Dowell (Cornell University), Eun-Hee Kim (Fordham University), and Kunyuan Qiao (Northeastern University)
    • Organizers & Moderators: Junghoon Park (Loyola Marymount University) and Elena Vidal (Baruch College, CUNY)

    📅 When: Tuesday, August 4, 3:00-4:30 PM EDT
    📍 Where: Pennsylvania Convention Center, Room 112A
    ℹ️ Session ID: 10769 (Sponsored by STR, SIM, and ONE Divisions) - [LINK]

    Stop by and join the conversation!
