The ability to innovate or create new knowledge, retain that knowledge, and to transfer it effectively are key to the success of organizations and societies. The conference will examine factors fostering innovation and organizational learning with particular attention to the role of identity. A shared identity, or sense of belonging to the same social group, can have a powerful effect on innovation and knowledge sharing. The conference wll bring together scholars from a variety of disciplines, including organizational behavior, psychology, sociology, and strategic management. Co-funded by Carnegie Bosch Institute for Applied Studies in International Management and the Center for Organizational Learning, Innovation, and Performance at Carnegie Mellon University, the conference will provide a forum for scholars to share research findings, identify common themes, and chart future directions.
