[ Reminder ]
If you plan on attending AOM in San Antonio next week, come join us for breakfast on Saturday, Aug 13th for a PDW on simulation. This is the 3rd year for hosting this workshop, with the previous 2 years being well received by attendees. Based upon the current registrations, we will be continuing that trend. Thank you.

Using Simulation Experiments to Build and Test Entrepreneurship Theories
Program Session #: 221 | Submission: 13598 | Sponsor: Entrepreneurship | PDW Cosponsor: Research Methods
Saturday, Aug 13 2011 | 8:30AM - 11:30AM | San Antonio Convention Center, Room 216 B
[ Full continental breakfast will be served ]
Management scholars have used computer simulation models to build and test theories for more than forty years. Entrepreneurship scholars, however, maintained their theoretical distance from management’s methodologies while pursuing domain legitimacy and distinct research boundaries. As the field has matured, senior entrepreneurship scholars have broadly called for the use of simulation and agent-based modeling for developing methodologically rigorous, domain-specific theory. Nevertheless, in a competitive publish-or-perish environment, these calls have not been enough to motivate the field to alter the path of research inertia. This workshop provides a primer, an outline, and specific examples of how simulation methods can apply to entrepreneurship’s research agenda. A panelist of authors that have published entrepreneurship research using simulation will take part in a discussion on the topic, while an editor’s panelist will provide a venue to discuss the topic from an editor’s perspective. In addition, two software toolkits, NetLogo and Repast, will be presented to show scholars how models can be built from the ground up, using examples from the Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics and the Kauffman Firm Survey.
