Competitive Dynamics Conference 2023

The 3rd Competitive Dynamics Conference will be held on May 25-26, 2023, in London, UK, hosted by Imperial College Business School.

We hope to attract a diverse set of papers geographically, theoretically, and methodologically – as long as they have an explicit focus on some aspect of competition. The papers can include competition at organization, group, or individual level, as well as at the level of groups of organizations (e.g., ecosystems, platforms, meta-organizations). We also welcome papers focused on the relationship between competition and cooperation within and between organizations, and those investigating the cross-level factors influencing such relationships.

In addition to a competitive selection of papers, the program includes invited talks by scholars at the frontier of competitive dynamics research. Our confirmed keynote speakers include Javier Gimeno (INSEAD) and Gavin Kilduff (NYU).

Thanks to the generous financial support Imperial College Business School, the conference will be free of charge to all participants.
