The study of organizational search has received significant attention in strategy and management research, evolving into a vibrant field characterized by diverse theoretical perspectives. This PDW is designed for scholars interested in exploring emerging topics in organizational search, emphasizing its current and growing relevance to the field. The workshop will focus on four critical and interconnected themes: (i) problem and solution search, (ii) search and innovation, (iii) the microfoundations of search, and (iv) the implications of artificial intelligence on search. These themes underscore not only the enduring significance of the topic but also its expanding importance as organizations navigate increasingly complex and uncertain environments. The purpose of this workshop is to advance understanding of organizational search by addressing recent advancements and foundational works that continue to shape scholarly interest—fostering inter-generational engagement among senior scholars, junior faculty and emerging PhD students. The format combines panel discussions, paper presentations, and roundtable sessions. Part I will feature insights from four senior scholars, each addressing one or more of the four themes. In Part II, junior faculty will present their working papers relevant to these themes. Part III will consist of roundtable discussions, where pre-registered participants engage with matched faculty to discuss their research projects.
