Topic:“Looking for allies: how individuals organize collaboration for experimentation outside routine work in corporate firms”Speaker:Nadine Scholz(PhD Student in Corporate Entrepreneurship & Innovation, King's College London)Date：April 12th (Wednesday) 2023from 16:30 to 18:00Venue:onsiteIIR Laboratory 1 (Room#119) of the first floor of the IIR buildingOrganizer:Yaichi AoshimaAbstract:Companies often establish structured innovation programs such as intrapreneurship programs and idea challenges to harness employee creativity and enable them to experiment with new ideas. Nevertheless, employees often also take initiative to work on ideas outside such formal organizational structures to introduce innovations for the company or generate organizational change, and, as they do so, they face particular constraints. This study explores inductively how individuals mobilize support and build the conditions that allow them to develop venture ideas targeting innovation outside routine work in incumbent firms. We use the lens of experimental spaces as ways of bounded social spaces to better understand how individuals organize interaction and support through different forms of boundary work to develop their ideas.

Topic:“Corporate-Startup Partnering: Exploring Attention Dynamics in Asymmetric Settings”Speaker:Anoop Madhok(Professor, York University)Date：June 7 (Wednesday), 2023from 16:30 to 18:00Venue:onsiteIIR Laboratory 2 (Room#219) of the second floor of the IIR buildingOrganizer:Ivar Padrón-HernándezAbstract:Startups concurrently partnering with large corporations compete for the latter’s attention. We extend the attention-based view from an intraorganizational to an interorganizational context by exploring how startups differ in attention received from the corporation, their actions to attract and sustain such attention, and the impact of attention dynamics on the partnership outcomes. Our research uncovers two discontinuous contests for attention involving corporate and divisional managers, highlighting the import of the distributed nature of attention. Reflecting this, our case findings reveal how startups’ appreciation of and responsiveness to the different cognitive schema and corresponding stimuli of corporate and divisional managers was critical to understanding the distinct attention trajectories and disparate outcomes. Our focus on attention complements the dominant focus on trust in research on relational dynamics.Deadline:9:00, June 7, 2023For registration, please click on
