2010 Entrepreneurship Division Doctoral Consortium
The Entrepreneurship Division will sponsor its annual consortium for doctoral students during the 2010 annual meetings of the Academy of Management in Montréal, Canada. 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 an accomplished scholar in the field. The Consortium will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, August 6, 2010 and continue until 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 7, 2010.
