Abstract

This symposium will examine strategic challenges of small firms in digital industries and those industries affected by digitization. Whereas small and young firms are assumed to be pivotal in global digital innovation, the roles of firm size and age have rarely been explicitly examined. To better understand how small firms contribute to the ongoing digitalization of the economy, we focus on five key strategic challenges: R&D performance, IT productivity, platform strategy, employee mobility, and firm location. Our five speakers will introduce recent strategy research on these themes and lead a discussion on how small and young firms differ from other types of firms in their strategic behavior and performance in innovating digital products and services.
