CALL FOR PAPERS
THE THIRD ANNUAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP RESEARCH
EXEMPLARS CONFERENCE
SPONSORED BY:
May 19, 20, 21, 2011
Submission Deadline: March 31, 2011
A central goal of the Entrepreneurship Division of the Academy of Management is to grow entrepreneurship scholarship. To help achieve this goal, the Division launched “The Entrepreneurship Research Excellence Initiative (EREI).
EREI has two parts: The IDEA Awards and the Entrepreneurship Research Exemplars Conference. In the past three years, IDEA awards have been given to papers that are foundational in the field of entrepreneurship. This year, the Research Exemplars Conference will be organized around the themes of these three foundational award winning papers:
Theme One: Opportunities--Venkataraman (1997). How are opportunities formed and exploited has become a central question in the field of entrepreneurship. Questions about where opportunities come from, how they differ, and do these differences have implications for those who seek to exploit them have become important questions in the field of entrepreneurship.
Theme Two: New Firms in Emerging Industries – Aldrich & Fiol (1994). Early ventures in the formative years of a new industry face a different set of challenges than those that carry on a tradition pioneered by predecessors in the same industry What are the processes surrounding the emergence of new industries, from early pioneering ventures through early stages of growth?
Theme Three: Entrepreneurial Orientation – Lumpkin & Dess (1996). Entrepreneurial orientation is a mindset in firms that enables their employees to act entrepreneurially and enter new lines of business. Empirical research has linked EO to firm performance and sales growth. EO has three dimensions which have prevailed over time, innovativeness, risk taking propensity, and proactiveness.
We invite scholars to submit papers for presentation at the Research Exemplars Conference that review, apply, test, or extend any of these themes. This conference will be held on May 19 – 21, 2011, at the Fisher College of Business, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA.
SUBMISSION
Conceptual and empirical papers that explore these themes should be submitted by March 31, 2011. Please submit your work, on-line, to Kathy Zwanziger (
