Bringing together a group of well-established scholars in market, category and field emergence, this Professional Development Workshop aims to facilitate discussion about new directions in the study of how new kinds of technologies, practices and ideas come about and shift from the margins to the mainstream-often through the creation of new markets, categories or fields. The purpose of this PDW is to synthesize some of the current thinking on empirical and conceptual work on emergence, build a community around these topics, and foster novel conversations and interactions across the different approaches. The PDW discusses the distinct approaches to emergence in the organization and management theory, takes an inventory of what has been accomplished so far with established scholarship, and maps out unanswered questions and future research directions led by the panelists as well as the round table discussions.

The round table discussions following the panel session aim to foster conversations and interactions across the different approaches on emergence and map directions for future research. No preregistration or advance submissions are required to attend as we opt for an inclusive participation to foster conversations about the phenomenon of emergence.

Welcome to join the community and conversations!
