Introduction
How do strategic leaders and entrepreneurs shape the future of their firms a nd ecosystems, not only through what they do, but through how they fr ame what they do? This mini-symposium brings together three leading i nternational scholars working at the intersection of strategy, innova tion, and organization theory to explore this question.

Prof. Paolo Aversa (King's College London) examines how strategic lea ders drive firms' roles in ecosystems, drawing on a longitudinal stud y of Dallara Automobili (1972–2025) to show how a leader's theory o f value translates into knowledge orchestration and progressively mor e expansive ecosystem roles.

Prof. Yuliya Snihur (IESE Busi ness School) discusses the power (and perils) of entrepreneurial fram ing, examining how founders design, communicate, and legitimate novel ideas in contexts marked by disruption and uncertainty.

Pr of. Georg Reischauer (Leuphana University Lüneburg / JKU Linz) turns to framing and alignment in mature ecosystems.

Overall, the symposium attempts to illuminate how cognition, language, and lea dership interact to shape innovation outcomes and ecosystem evolution . The symposium offers faculty and PhD students an opportunity to eng age with cutting-edge research and to discuss their own work with the visiting scholars.
