Beyond Markets Series – Saturday, August 5, 2017
The Beyond Markets Series offers three PDWs at the AOM Annual meeting examining the interactions of firms and non-market actors (members of civil society and the state). This year's Beyond Markets Series addresses many of the "big questions" facing both scholars and practitioners, covering a broad range of topics that include stakeholders, social movements, alternative economic systems, and the role of markets and enterprises in our ever-changing world. The three PDWs conclude with a networking social for a chance to meet and mingle with the day's participants - we hope to see you there!
