Introduction
How do strategic leaders and entrepreneurs shape the future of their firms and ecosystems, not only through what they do, but through how they frame what they do? This mini-symposium brings together three leading international schol ars working at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and organiza tion theory to explore this question.

Prof. Paolo Aversa (King's College London) examines how strategic leaders drive firms' roles in ecosystems, drawing on a longitudinal study of Dallara Autom obili (1972–2025) to show how a leader's theory of value translates into knowledge orchestration and progressively more expansive ecosys tem roles.
Prof. Yuliya Snihur (IESE Business School) discu sses the power (and perils) of entrepreneurial framing, examining how founders design, communicate, and legitimate novel ideas in contexts marked by disruption and uncertainty.
Prof. Georg Reischau er (Leuphana University Lüneburg / JKU Linz) turns to framing and al ignment in mature ecosystems.

Overall, the symposium atte mpts to illuminate how cognition, language, and leadership interact t o shape innovation outcomes and ecosystem evolution. The symposium of fers faculty and PhD students an opportunity to engage with cutting-e dge research and to discuss their own work with the visiting scholars .
