Abstract:
Research interests at the intersection of strategic management and market categories has grown significantly in recent years and current market environments have posed tremendous challenge for firms seeking to classify themselves and their offerings for competitive advantage in a rapidly changing market structure. This symposium invites scholars interested in strategic management and market categories to present and discuss their views on firms’ strategic choice of category labels, meanings, and positions as they consider and engage with other key stakeholders in the marketplace. By examining factors associated with firms’ strategic categorization, including motivations, occasions and contexts, we hope to open conversations and future research opportunities to clarify the multiple mechanisms through which categories and categorization processes in the market can be associated with firms’ strategic choices. More broadly, we hope this symposium would also contribute to the understanding of market categories and firm strategy in dynamic market environments.
