The Evolution of Ideas in Innovation & Entrepreneurship: A Michael Gort Contributions Conference
Entrepreneurial initiative and technological innovation are the drivers of firm and industry evolution, and thus of economic growth and development. Over the last fifty years, Michael Gort has worked on research issues related to industry evolution, innovation and entrepreneurship, and his contributions have informed subsequent research in the area. This conferences seeks to bring together scholars in industrial organization and strategic management that have been influenced by Michael Gort's work. The papers presented in the conference sessions will provide a synopsis of contemporary research related to the above research areas.

Corporate Mini-Conference

The 2006 CRES Corporate Finance Mini-Conference brought together a group of leading scholars of corporate finance in order to discuss new empirical and theoretical research.

The conference included 10 paper presentations, with junior people presenting their work and relatively senior members serving as discussants. The complete set of papers, presenters, and discussants is available on the conference website. The conference allowed leading scholars from other institutions to interact with Olin faculty as well as to showcase our research accomplishments. We expect to host similar conferences periodically.

Competition with Delays: Queueing Games

The Center for Research in Economics and Strategy (CRES), the Boeing Center for Technology Information and Management (BCTIM) and the Center for Health Policy are jointly hosting a research conference on competition with delays. A wide range of applications will be considered from kidney allocation, to computer network sharing, to retai and manufacturing competition. A common theme across the presentations is the notion of customer or client delays within a competitive environment. This is an increasingly popular area of research with a wide variety of applications. The conference will be truly interdisciplinary with attendees coming from operations groups, economics groups, engineering schools and even finance groups.

CRES-IO Conference
|
The 2005 CRES Conference on Industrial Organization bought together a small group of leading scholars of I.O. in order to intensely learn and discuss new research. We welcomed 11 top junior and senior scholars from other institutions to Olin, and about 25 scholars from Washington University and other local universities also attended the conference.
The conference included 7 paper presentations, with a mix of theoretical and empirical papers. Our program included three empirical papers that analyzed strategic decisions to acquire sets of complementary objects in different industries including online and print newspapers, credit cards, and cellular telephone service. Also, we had three papers on the market for human capital which focused on questions of whether markets result in optimal matching people to firms. Finally, one paper provided a perspective on the direction that empirical IO researchers should pursue. The complete set of papers, presenters, and discussants is available on the conference website.
The conference provided a lively forum to discuss new research. It also allowed leading scholars from other institutions to interact with Olin faculty and to showcase our research accomplishments. We expect to host similar conferences in the coming years.

Foundations of Business Strategy
|
Through the Center for Research in Economics and Strategy (CRES), Olin will host a conference on Foundations of Business Strategy. Strategy has evolved to the point at which the more formal analytical methods and scientific methodologies that have proven so successful in other applied areas can and should be exploited to a much greater extent. Several recent Strategy publications and working papers provide suggestive evidence in favor of this view. These new papers use formal methods to explore foundational Strategy issues, such as the determinants of performance differences between firms; e.g., what these determinants are, how they operate, how performance should be measured, the extent to which such differences persist, and how various factors serve to increase or limit performance heterogeneity. In so doing, they succeed in delivering unambiguous definitions and clear logic, and, as a result, overcome some of the key obstacles hindering applications and empirical work. In our judgment, there is much more to be gained by pursuing this line of work.
