Strategy Research Conference
October 26-27, 2007
The Strategy Unit at Harvard Business School invites you to submit research papers for presentation at its ninth annual Strategy Research Conference on Friday and Saturday, October 26 and 27, 2007. This year the conference will focus on strategy in multi-business corporations. Our guiding question will be:
"What is the role of the CEO in multi-business corporations?"
We are interested in understanding the levers of value creation and capture that are available to leaders of diversified companies. Areas of particular interest include:
- Role of the corporate center in adding value to individual businesses
- Locus of responsibility for strategy formulation within multi-business firms
- Portfolio selection and extent of diversification
- Corporate strategy and organizational design
- Resource allocation processes within diversified corporations
- Impact of ownership and governance structures on strategy and performance
- Relationships with, and responsibilities to, stakeholders
- Personal characteristics of the CEO and the top management team
- Impact of leadership on strategy, and vice versa
Submissions should be original, creative research papers that have not yet been published, or accepted for publication. Please send your submission by e-mail to strategy@hbs.edu. The deadline for submissions is July 31, 2007. Authors whose papers are selected will be notified in mid-August.
The Division of Research of Harvard Business School will pay for travel, meals, and lodging of presenters. Information on conference registration will be available on our Web site in early August. Any questions related to the conference can be e-mailed to strategy@hbs.edu.
