To foster a thriving community of scholars investigating digital businesses through the lens of classic strategic management questions, we have organized a series of popular PDWs at recent AOM conferences. Each workshop has consistently attracted over 200 engaged participants, underscoring a vibrant interest in how digital transformation intersects with fundamental strategy concerns. Our past PDWs covered diverse themes, from corporate strategy (2020) and organizational governance (2021) to resources and capabilities (2022), fundamental issues in strategy (2023), and value-based strategy (2024). As we embark on our sixth installment in 2025, we focus on the theme: “Dynamic Interactions in Digital-Age Strategy: Competition, Cooperation, Learning, and Innovation.” This theme addresses a broad spectrum of digital phenomena—ranging from ecosystems and platforms to artificial intelligence—and centers on how digitization both extends established theories and necessitates theoretical refinements to capture novel forms of competitive and collaborative dynamics. Our objective is to examine whether, and how, these digital-age phenomena prompt adjustments to our classic strategy constructs, as well as to spark new theoretical insights into the nature of dynamic interactions in competition, cooperation, learning, and innovation.

Announcement: Breakout Group Registration for the Final Part of the PDW The concluding session of our 2025 AOM PDW (#18506) on “Dynamic Interactions in Digital-Age Strategy” will feature small-group breakout discussions (60 minutes) with panelists, keynote speakers, and knowledgeable facilitators. To participate in these breakout groups, please register in advance. Please complete a short form ( https://forms.gle/nHmqzoFPtuPRTvsv6 ) providing your name, affiliation, and a brief outline of research ideas relevant to the workshop. This will help organizers tailor the breakout groups to your interests and ensure a more productive discussion. We look forward to your active participation in refining and generating new research projects at the intersection of digital business, competition, cooperation, learning, and innovation.
