This symposium aims to highlight potential new research directions on complementary assets research. In the seminal study, Teece (1986) proposes the importance of complementary assets in capturing value from innovation. The significance of this foundational idea has inspired an extraordinary breadth of scholarly work that spans across multiple disciplines. At the same time, somewhat paradoxically, due to its immense success, complementary assets have become a theory that often remains in the background for many recent studies. The field has now reached an opportune time to review diverse streams of work, take stock of latest advances, and reflect on its future. * Value Capture Through Complementarities in Ecosystems * Presenter: Cameron Miller; Syracuse U. * Strategy as Orchestrating Patterns of Complementarity * Presenter: Anparasan Mahalingam; U. of Utah, David Eccles School of Business * AI as Complementary Engines of Growth -- Firm Inequality on the Technological Frontier * Presenter: Daniel Rock; The Wharton School, U. of Pennsylvania * Purposeful Disownership of Assets -- Paying Contract Manufacturers to Reduce Termination Cost * Presenter: Dongil Daniel Keum; Columbia Business School [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Machine Learning (ML) techniques that enable researchers to extract useful information from textual data have opened new avenues for research. In management research, with the prevalence and prominence of text documents, a recent stream has begun to examine new questions (and re-examine longstanding questions) that management scholars and practitioners face. With the goal of engaging the audience in a discussion about the use of text analysis methods in management research, this proposed symposium aims to present a variety of applications of working with textual data in strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship research. We cover a diverse, broad range of applications, including measuring the radicalness of innovation, emergence of new categories, classifying the language of jobs, and tracking the direction of research through literature reviews. By introducing different areas of research where text analysis can offer distinctive value and discussing opportunities and challenges associated with using these methods, we anticipate to generate interest among a diverse set of audience.
