**Call for Participants**
AOM PDW: "Research Frontiers in Nonmarket Strategy" - Saturday, August 1st, 2026, 8:00AM - 10:30AM
Join us for the 9th edition of AOM's PDW session on Research Frontiers in Nonmarket Strategy!
Pre-registration Deadline: July 3, 2026
This workshop aims to explore research frontiers in the increasingly active area of nonmarket strategy. Through a combination of panel presentations by distinguished scholars and interactive roundtable discussions with workshop participants, we seek to identify how to advance research and how to address some shortcomings in existing approaches – both empirical and theoretical – in nonmarket strategy research. Roundtables will provide a venue for participants to receive feedback on work in progress from leading scholars in the field. The proposed workshop is likely to be of interest to researchers working on topics such as corporate social responsibility, political strategy, (social) innovation, stakeholder governance, and sustainability, providing an informed perspective on cutting-edge research on these topics.

Pre-registration: This PDW consists of two parts: a panel discussion and a roundtable session. The roundtable session offers participants an opportunity to receive feedback on their research in a small-group setting led by a leading scholar in the field of nonmarket strategy. To participate in the roundtables, you must submit a 5-page research proposal or summary of work in progress, which will be shared with your roundtable leader and fellow participants in advance.
If you wish to participate in a roundtable, please pre-register using the following link:
