Dear Fellow ENT Members,
if you have an interest in employee and management issues in
entrepreneurial ventures, consider attending the following
cross-disciplinary PDW at the upcoming AOM meeting in Philadelphia. Keep
in mind that you need to preregister for this event by Friday July 13th.
Best Regards,
Erik Monsen

The purpose of this research incubator is to promote networking across
divisions between researchers from diverse theoretical and
methodological backgrounds with shared interests in entrepreneurial
organizations, to generate innovative research, and to promote
collaboration and resource sharing. The bridge between the ENT division
and the HR/OB/ODC divisions may be the weakest of all the links within
the Academy of Management. At the same time, the opportunities for
generating new knowledge and leveraging existing theory are very high
across these domains. Therefore, it requires active effort to promote
cross-field collaboration, learning, and growth. There is significant
potential for application of this new knowledge as established
organizations seek ways to promote and sustain entrepreneurship, and as
start-up firms increasingly dominate the hyper-competitive economic
landscape of the 21st century.
Following the model of a well-attended PDW at the 2006 AoM Meeting, the
proposed workshop will be structured as a ‘Research Incubator’ for work
on the nexus between micro-organizational (HRM/OB/ODC) and
entrepreneurship topics. From a human resource perspective, this covers
HR/OB/ODC issues in large firms pursuing strategies of corporate
entrepreneurship, in entrepreneurial start-up firms, and the human and
behavioral issues faced by individual entrepreneurs. From an
entrepreneurship perspective, this workshop addresses behavioral,
economic, and cognitive phenomena associated with entrepreneurial
contexts. Attendees are encouraged from HR, OB, ODC and ENT divisions.
The structure of the session will build on that of the previous year,
with an emphasis on participant involvement.
We will start the day at 8am with breakfast and informal networking,
followed by a short panel presentation by two leading scholars working
in this area (Jeffrey S. Hornsby, Ball State U., and Wang Zhongming,
Zhejiang U.). They will speak for 10-15 minutes each and highlight the
interesting, under researched and unaddressed questions at the nexus of
these fields. Participants will then break into small working groups of
four researchers plus one facilitator to work on specific research
project ideas. These groups will be determined based on stated research
interests indicated during pre-registration. In order to promote network
creation, group composition will emphasize both shared research
interests and diversity in terms of primary division affiliations (HR,
OB, ODC, & ENT).
Each work group will be led by a table facilitator who is a known
researcher in this nexus. Facilitators already committed to joining us
include David Balkin (U. of Colorado, Boulder), Robert Baron (Renssaeler
Polytechnic Institute) Diane Burton (MIT), Igor Filatotchev (Kings
College London), Theresa Welbourne (U. of Michigan), Laurie Levesque
(Suffolk U.), Harry Sapienza (U. of Minnesota), Benjamin Campbell (U. of
Pennsylvania), and Karen Bishop (Suffolk U..). Session leaders Melissa
Cardon (Pace U.), James Hayton (Bocconi U.), and Erik Monsen (Max Plank
Institute of Economics) will help facilitate discussions and record the
progress of the work groups.
Starting at 11:00, each work group will report out on their proposed
research model and design, and at 12:00 workshop leaders will synthesize
these reports and the group’s discussion, briefly commenting on the
central themes that emerge during the workshop. A closing speaker
(Shaker Zahra, University of Minnesota) will highlight the challenges
and opportunities to doing research at the nexus of fields. Following
our session, all participants will be invited to an off-site lunch
sponsored by Bocconi University.
