Dear colleagues,
At AOM annual meeting in Philly this year, we are fortunate to bring together David Collis, Emilie R. Feldman, Koen H. Heimeriks, Paul Nary, and Arkadiy Sakhartov for a conversation on how corporate strategy is changing when value creation depends less on simply "owning" businesses and more on continuously reshaping how they are owned, governed, connected, and reconfigured.
If you are interested in corporate strategy, private equity, divestitures, ecosystems, platforms, or the changing boundaries of the firm, we would love to see you there.
We will discuss questions such as:
- What happens when strategy increasingly unfolds across funds, platforms, alliances, divestitures, and portfolio-based forms of ownership?
- Where do capabilities reside when learning and resources span firm boundaries?
- How should we theorize governance when ownership and control systematically diverge?
📅 Sunday, August 2, 2026
⏰ 9:45-11:15 AM ET
📍 Philadelphia Convention Center, 108B
We are grateful to AOM STR Division and AOM TIM Division for sponsoring our symposium panel.
