SUMMARY:Ecosystem Evolution\, Ecosystem Generativity\, and AI: Implications for Strategic Management
DESCRIPTION:OVERVIEW \nOrganizers:  \n\nTammy L. Madsen (lead)\, Professor of Strategy and Innovation and W. M. Keck Foundation Chair\, Leavey School of Business\, Santa Clara University and Academy of Management President-elect.\nRiitta Katila\, W. M. Keck Sr. Professor of Management Science\, Faculty Director of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program and HAI Sabbatical Scholar at Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence\, Stanford University\nMelissa A. Schilling\, Herzog Family Professor of Management\, Deputy Chair of the Management & Organizations Department\, and Director\, Fubon Center Tech Innovation Initiative\, New York University.\nJennifer Woolley\, Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation\, Leavey School of Business\, Santa Clara University.\n\nThe explosion of interest in ecosystems and artificial intelligence (AI) reflects a fundamental shift in how firms innovate and compete in an increasingly interconnected world. The processes of ecosystem evolution and generativity coupled with rapid advancements in AI are shaping the strategic landscape by redefining how firms create\, capture\, and distribute value. Both ecosystem evolution and generativity are influenced by shifts in autonomous actors’ strategies and behaviors\, as well as changes in key ecosystem dynamics—including complementarities\, interdependencies\, bottlenecks\, actor interactions\, technologies\, markets\, and macro-environmental conditions. AI\, as both an enabler and a disruptor\, has the potential to accelerate ecosystem evolution and generativity by providing data-driven insights\, uncovering novel associations\, automating decision-making\, redefining ways of working\, and unlocking new sources of value. As firms and platforms navigate this complexity\, understanding the mechanisms that drive heterogeneity in ecosystem transformation is essential for advancing strategic management. \nBy bringing together prominent scholars and executives in the heart of Silicon Valley\, this SMS Extension aims to push the frontiers of research on ecosystem evolution\, ecosystem generativity\, and AI\, deepening our understanding of their implications for strategic management. Panel discussions and presentations will feature leading experts who have shaped the field’s understanding of ecosystems\, alongside those exploring the intersection of AI and strategy. Participants will engage in rigorous discussions\, gain exposure to cutting-edge research and industry perspectives\, and collaboratively define future research directions at the nexus of ecosystems\, AI\, and strategic management. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nNot all ecosystems are created equal—how does heterogeneity in purpose and structure shape orchestration strategies?\nBeyond well-trodden paths—where do current frameworks fall short in explaining ecosystem evolution?\nUnderstanding ecosystem evolution requires moving beyond linear models—how do emergent dynamics and feedback loops reshape competitive landscapes?\nAI is not just an enabler but a collaborator — how does AI-augmented decision-making fundamentally alter our traditional approaches to value creation and strategy development?\nHow do we unlock new forms of generativity and how do we measure it beyond counting?\nAs ecosystems become more dominant\, regulatory scrutiny increases—how will new policies redefine platform governance and strategic decision-making?\n\nDate and Time: Friday\, October 10\, 2025 at 9:30AM – 5:00PM PDT \nLocation: Leavey School of Business\, Santa Clara University (SCU) \nRegistration Fees:  \n\nSMS Members: $150.00 USD\nNon-Members: $165.00 USD\n\nPROGRAM \nPanel/Paper Session: Ecosystem Evolution: What do we know?

SUMMARY:SIF Webinar Series: Strategy Meets Growth: Making the Ambidextrous Organization Work in the Real World
DESCRIPTION:FREE Strategy Imagination Forum Webinar! \nThe idea of the ambidextrous organization — one that can manage today’s business while exploring tomorrow’s opportunities — has been around for years. But while the concept is relatively well known in academia\, few companies have actually succeeded in making it work systematically\, durably\, and at scale. \nIn this Strategy Imagination Forum webinar\, Dr Alex shares what he’s learned from two decades of helping global organizations close the gap between growth ambitions and execution. Drawing on practical experience and visual tools developed at Strategyzer\, Alex will show how he helps c-suite leaders and their organizations understand the difference between exploration and exploitation and build the governance required to do both. \nThe webinar will conclude with an interactive Q&A session\, offering participants the chance to ask questions and engage directly with the ideas presented. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nLearn why so many organizations struggle to become truly ambidextrous and how to avoid the same fate.\nApply actionable frameworks to systematically design and lead ambidextrous organizations in the real world.\nDiscover how to foster a culture and governance system that supports both operational excellence and strategic exploration.\n\nJoin us for a session that cuts through the theory and delivers practical tools for building organizations that grow while they evolve. \nPrice: FREE \nSpeakers: \nDr. Alexander (Alex) Osterwalder\, founder & CEO of Strategyzer\, is one of the world’s most influential strategy and innovation experts.

Recently\, he was a 2023-24 Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University and previously served as Associate Dean for Executive Education at Bayes. He held visiting faculty positions at the University of Chicago and the University of Cambridge and completed his Ph.D. at Bocconi University\, where he also obtained an MSc cum laude. His primary research interests are the emergence of novelty and how organizational configurations shape outcomes such as innovation and the adoption of climate change practices. Prof. Furnari is a multi-disciplinary researcher combining insights from sociology with organization studies\, and using qualitative and mixed methods (including fuzzy-set/Qualitative Comparative Analysis or fs/QCA). \nThomas Greckhamer is Department Chair\, the William W. Rucks IV Endowed Chair and Professor of Management at Louisiana State University. He earned his PhD in Management from the University of Florida.
