2008 Entrepreneurship Division Doctoral Consortium
Announcement and Application Information
The Entrepreneurship Division will sponsor its annual consortium for doctoral students during the 2008 annual meetings of the Academy of Management in Anaheim, CA. The Consortium brings together doctoral students and experienced faculty to discuss opportunities and challenges as scholars in the field. This year, the program will include panels and discussions on dissertation strategies, first job and career path considerations, establishing research partnerships, and a host of other topics. Students will also receive detailed and constructive feedback on their work from a scholar in the field. The Consortium will begin at noon on Friday, August 8, 2007 and continue until noon, Sunday, August 10, 2008.
The Consortium is open to doctoral students who have completed approximately two years of their Ph.D. program. The ideal candidate will have finished his/her coursework and be engaged in preparing a dissertation proposal. To apply, please submit the following four separate documents electronically to both Harry Sapienza (
