    Business collective action (BCA)-the collaboration of private sector organizations and/or industries to achieve common market or non-market objectives-is a prevalent aspect of business activity (Barley, 2010; Mizruchi 2013; Walker & Rea, 2014). BCA involves a wide range of activities and occurs through a large number of unique organizational forms with trade associations as the most well known form. Yet, BCA has been largely overlooked in management research. The purpose of this symposium is to bring together a panel of distinguished scholars conducting research on business collective action to (1) discuss recent developments in the area; (2) chart out a course for future research, and; (3) engage in an interactive discussion with audience members around the topic.

    Thank you kindly,
    Sean
