The Entrepreneurship Division will sponsor an Early Career Development Consortium (ECDC) during the 2017 Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management in Atlanta, GA. This consortium is specifically designed to meet the needs of those scholars who are early in their career such as tenure-track assistant professors and ABD's. The Consortium will begin with breakfast at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, August 4 and continues until 5:00 p.m.  The consortium includes a reception Friday evening.  Admitted applicants are expected to participate in the entire day's program.

Leading scholars in our field will provide practical advice to help you navigate the tenure and promotion process, manage your career, and develop a successful research stream. Specific topics include:

·      Career Strategies for Tenure & Promotion Success

Participating scholars include Sharon Alvarez (University of Pittsburgh), Peter Klein (Baylor University), Nicolai Foss (Bocconi University), Matt Wood (Baylor University), Jeffrey McMullen (Indiana University), Jennifer Jennings (University of Alberta), and Howard Aldrich (University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill).

Finally, you will receive publishing advice from a panel of editors representing the leading journals in the field as they present their journal's mission and editorial policies.

The Consortium will begin on Friday, August 4, 2017 with a continental breakfast.  Lunch will also be served.  Following the consortium, there will be a joint reception with participants from the entrepreneurship doctoral consortium.
