Our Mission

The Industry Studies Association (ISA) is dedicated to advancing industry studies research, a field characterized by its examination of the context of a specific industry or a phenomenon affecting multiple industries. Such research often spans multiple disciplinary perspectives, offering insights that can support evidence-based policymaking and managerial decision-making. The ISA aims to elevate the profile of industry studies research and its positive impact on realized public policy and industry outcomes. We accomplish this by identifying, connecting, and recognizing scholars undertaking industry studies research, facilitating interdisciplinary dialogue and exchanges rich in industry context, and fostering direct interactions between academia, industry, and policymakers.

Our mission would not be possible without our Sponsors

Enthusiastic attendees enjoyed multi-disciplinary discussions across the "superbly run" three-day event that delivered inspiring excursions and "knowledge exchanges" in stimulating locations. The breadth of session topics sparked new connections and excitement for the 2027 Annual Conference in Utah.
