Dear Colleagues,
Following the popularity of this session six years running, and the growing body of research explicitly addressing this topic, we are delighted to invite you to a thought-provoking PDW at the 2022 Academy of Management Annual Meeting in which we'll ask: Do Lean Startup methodologies constitute a new paradigm for innovation strategy? And what research avenues does the Lean Startup phenomenon open up to scholars? [abstract below]

Abstract: "In the decade since 'The Lean Startup' was published, the method outlined in this book has been widely adopted by entrepreneurs and the principles it embodies have guided many new venture launches and product innovations. Established corporations have attempted to adopt these practices for their in-house innovation efforts with varying levels of success. This has prompted a surge in academic interest in the Lean Startup and associated methodology. While some underlying principles of the Lean Startup method are present in established streams of literature, a flourishing body of research has emerged to address remaining gaps between theory and the practices inspired by the Lean Startup method. Thus, we ask: What new research questions does the Lean Startup movement open up? In the seventh iteration of this highly popular workshop, we continue our discussion of these issues by assembling a panel of leading scholars who will share their current work and their perspectives on interesting directions for future research."
Format: The PDW will consist of a series of presentations followed by an opportunity to engage in roundtable conversations with the presenters. Participants should be registered for the AOM Annual Meeting, but no separate pre-registration is required to participate in either part of this workshop.
