    ADHD and Entrepreneurship

    (AOM Annual Meeting PDW# 10087)

    Friday, August 4, 2017 (from 9:45-11:15 AM)

    Hilton Atlanta, Crystal Ballroom C,D

     

    Certain mental disorders may exhibit characteristics that allow individuals to perform well in certain tasks or professions. This PDW seeks to stimulate discussion on the potential upsides of ADHD in entrepreneurship, exploring how, and with what effects the very characteristics of ADHD that make it hard to work in a conventional workplace may provide advantages in an entrepreneurial setting, and for whom. 

     

    This PDW at the Academy of Management Meeting in Atlanta is comprised of two parts.

    In the first part, we will give "teaser" presentations to advocate a focus on ADHD as a means of developing novel insights and theories in entrepreneurship. The following will take part: 

    Petra Andries, Ghent University 

    Rebecca Franklin, Memorial University of Newfoundland

    Jenny Gibb, University of Waikato

    Brian Gunia, The John Hopkins University

    Daniel Lerner, University de Deusto

    Louis Marino, University of Alabama

    Roy Thurik, Erasmus School of Economics, Rotterdam

    Wei Yu, Syracuse University

    Host: Danny Miller, HEC Montreal & University of Alberta

     

    Following these presentations, we will transition to a World Café setting where presenters and participants will explore together new mechanisms of entrepreneurial motivation and action, using ADHD as a means of developing novel insights. We will also explore future research projects and collaborations.

     

    If you would like to participate in our PDW, please pre-register for the event no later than July 27, 2017. 

     

    We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta on Friday August 4 from 09:45-11:15 am at the Hilton Atlanta!

     

    Best regards
