Innovation has been a significant and widely studied topic in strategy and management research for decades, yet certain crucial phenomena and related theoretical questions remain unexamined, creating opportunities to explore new frontiers in innovation studies. This symposium brings together a unique set of papers that explore new perspectives on understanding various aspects of innovation, providing implications for both future research and practice. Specifically, the first paper differentiates between research and development to discern the distinct impacts of organizational structure on R&D: centralization of development is related to reduced duplication of development effort; however, the likelihood that a given invention being commercialized is lower in centralized development compared to decentralized development. The second paper proposes managerial prosocial preferences, specifically the inclination to avoid harming employees, as a negative antecedent to firm investment in automation and AI innovation. The third paper studies the fast-growing call for firms' environmental innovations and delves into a paradox concerning the effect of institutional pressures—normative institutional pressures incentivize firms to innovate, but they also motivate them to shift focus toward short-term "brown" innovations, rather than long-term "green" innovations. The last study moves beyond the conventional binary choice between trade secret and patent protection, investigating vagueness as a novel patenting strategy in response to the desire to withhold technological information. As a set, these papers offer fresh insights into understanding the creation, adoption, commercialization, and protection of innovation, shedding new light on expanding the frontier of innovation research.
