TOPIC:
------
Hybrid ventures combine institutional rationalities in attempts to address
societal needs and problems that organizations operating with single
institutional rationalities consistently fail to address. As such, hybrids
for instance seek to combine economic and ecological logics to enable
corporate greening, economic and social logics to provide micro-credits,
economic and governmental logics to help governmental agencies operate in
more efficient ways, or economic and religious logics to provide banking
solutions that conform to religious guidelines. Despite their potential,
however, hybrids face a number of challenges that constrain their chances
of creation, diffusion, growth, and which generally limit their chances of
survival and sustainable operation. Within this broad scholarly context,
we invite conceptual and empirical submissions that may address, but are
not limited to, the following exemplary TOPICS AND QUESTIONS:
1)Contextual setting of hybrid ventures:
- Which institutional settings are more conducive to the creation/growth
of hybrid ventures?
- How do hybrid organizational forms diffuse within and across
institutional settings?
2)Recognizing opportunities for hybrid ventures:
- How do entrepreneurs recognize and refine opportunities for hybrid
ventures?
- Who recognizes opportunities for hybrid ventures?
Acquiring resources for hybrid ventures:
- How does resource acquisition differ between hybrid and 'classic'
ventures?
- Human resources: How do entrepreneurs build teams and networks for
hybrid ventures?
- Financial resources: How do entrepreneurs acquire financial resources
for hybrid ventures?
3)Creating, growing, and exiting hybrid ventures:
- How are hybrid ventures created/maintained/developed?
- How do hybrid ventures prevent a 'value drift'?
- How do entrepreneurs exit hybrid ventures?
------------
