CALL FOR PAPERS
INSEAD Doriot Entrepreneurship Conference
Fontainebleau, France 5-6 May 2017
Organizers: Stephen Mezias, Rose Luo, and Balagopal (Bala) Vissa
Invited Participants already on the schedule: Prof. Rudy Durande of HEC Paris and Prof. Michael Tushman of Harvard.
Entrepreneurship has become a very active research topic in organization theory and strategy, spurred by interest in the birth of new industries, the rejuvenation of existing industries through new technologies or markets, new ways of organizing as well as the dynamics of entry in existing industries. Much research on entrepreneurship addresses a broad theoretical agenda that is also relevant to organization theorists and strategists, such as its insights on new organizational populations examined by organizational ecology; change and differentiation in institutions; the reorganization of industries through richer networks and finer specialization; organizational and knowledge contexts and transition into entrepreneurship; effectiveness of new venture strategies & organization design approaches and so forth. It is the goal of the conference to stimulate further research in these and related areas.
We are seeking high quality papers employing varied theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches, exploring a broad range of entrepreneurial phenomenon. Examples include intra-organizational phenomena such as the assembly of existing inventions and ideas for commercialization to generate internal ventures or spin-offs. Organizational boundary phenomena include organizing for new business development from own knowledge stock versus developing and relying on external capabilities. Organizational phenomena include how ventures come to structure the niches they occupy and adapt to other ventures. Entrepreneur phenomena include formation and development of an identity for the venture.
