Five leading scholars will be discussing the how strategy researchers can engage with the many exciting issues that state activity raises around the world:

Aline Gatignon (Wharton): The firm, the State, and Civil Society: a Bermuda Triangle for Nonmarket Strategy?

Anna Grosman (Loughborough U): Strategies for Firm Success in the Face of Government Influence

Pasha Mahmood (NUS Singapore): Strategies for Engaging with Regulators in Nascent Markets
