Call for Proposals<\/h2>\n

The global economic landscape is increasingly defined by the emergence of complex ecosystems. From the rapid growth of digital public infrastructure to the rise of regional innovation hubs, firms no longer compete in isolation. Success now requires navigating a unique confluence of interorganizational networks, agglomerations, national and pan-national regulatory institutions and actors, academic institutions, R&D labs, and venture capital. The conference theme explores how strategy and entrepreneurial activity interacts with institutional contexts to create, sustain, and reconfigure competitive advantage in rapidly transforming competitive landscape. We invite researchers to explore how firms orchestrate internal and external resources to navigate institutional complexities and leverage these ecosystems for strategic advantage and entrepreneurial activity.<\/p>\n

We hope through the India Strategy Conference 2026, we will be able to bring together researchers, educators, and managers to a common platform for discussing these issues and to enable the global community of strategy scholars and practitioners to engage with these phenomena.<\/p>\n

We encourage submissions of proposals that are empirical (qualitative or quantitative), conceptual or purely theoretical in nature and employ strategic management and entrepreneurship theories to investigate the role and impact of ecosystems on strategy, entrepreneurship and strategic decision-making. We also welcome proposals to carry out simulations, systematic literature reviews or meta-analysis on the topic. Submissions aligned with the conference theme may address, but are not limited to, the following:<\/p>\n
