  • 1.  important-- ENTREP Listserv will be changing soon (please read)

    Posted 11-27-2017 12:25

    Hi all,

    We write to share the exciting news that the ENTREP Listserv will be changing soon. It is scheduled to be upgraded to Connect@AOM next month, December 2017.

    Connect@AOM is a new online collaborative tool, designed exclusively for AOM members. This platform dramatically improves the networking tools available to ENT Division members and helps us connect and collaborate with each other. We hope you will find it to be a place where you can ask for advice, share your experiences, and build relationships.

    Here is what you need to do now to get ready:

    1. Make sure you have you preferred/current email listed on your profile with AOM.  Go to Aom.Org, sign in and you can check your profile by clicking "My Profile" in the box in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. Please update your profile and make sure we have your current and correct email address listed.

    2. Make sure you are a member of the division.  While any member of AOM can view the content of the our Community, only ENT Division members will be able to post to the discussions. So, put differently, Connect@AOM is a member benefit. While non-members may create an account and view Connect@AOM activity, the privilege of posting to and participating in the community is restricted to ENT Division members. Additionally, only ENT community members will be eligible to receive Daily Digest or other push notifications about activity that occurs in the ENT community.

    We will be sharing more information about this transition over the next two weeks. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email Lou Marino who is our Communications Committee Chair at lmarino@cba.ua.edu.

    I have just learned that the Entrep@aomlists.aom.org is going to transform to the Connect platform next month.     The Entrepreneurship Listserve was created in the 1990s with no barriers to membership.  To join, all you had to have was an interest in Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurship scholarship, or Entrepreneurship education.   That was an intentional strategy that I believe helped to introduce many scholars to the Academy of Management and to our Division.   I believe that it was also a successful idea and contributed to the success of our Division recruiting efforts.


    Quite frankly, I am sorry to see the change of the list into a space where only members of the Division will have full participation rights.    I know that times change and many marketing gurus believe that  such a 'new' philosophy of exclusivity will add perceived value to membership but I really do not believe this.    


    Rather, I believe that it will shut out many of the past participants in fruitful discussions,  scholars from different fields of study where Entrepreneurship is needed and relevant (e.g. the creative arts community), from other levels of academia and Ent Support (community colleges,  SBA and SBDC communities, etc.) and from actual participation by ENTREPRENEURS who have an interest in Entrep. Education and Theory.  


    Old dogs often bemoan the passing of something that they helped to create and I am wary of falling into that stereotype, BUT I want everyone to pause and think.  Do we really want to create barriers to participating in our exciting community?


    I became an active member of our Division as a Ph.D. Student predominately because the Division was so welcoming to anyone with an interest in Entrepreneurship.   It did not matter what school you taught at, where your degrees were from or who you worked with.    It did not matter whether you published in top tier journals, or other outlets, or even had much of a scholarship record at all or whether you had a recognized "name."   You were welcomed into the tribe and mentored.  Senior scholars visited with you with real interest and encouraged what we might now recognize as the entrepreneurial mindset -- hey, what are YOU interested in?  Wow, that fascinating!  Lets do something together, or here is who you should talk to....   I want to see that tradition continue:)


    The Connect Platform is definitely a value added technology compared to the decades old listserve tech but why can't it be an OPEN community which welcomes all who are interested in participating and where the advantages of AOM and Division membership can be DEMONSTRATED through engagement?   This philosophy served the Division well for over 20 years.    Please consider continuing that strategy.

    Hi John,

      Thank you for the email, for your service, and for sharing your concerns. You make a number of very important points. Please know they are shared. 

     The transition and the decision of how to structure access to Connect are both Academy decisions rather than division decisions. Division representatives have previously raised the concerns you shared here with Academy leadership, as have other representatives from other divisions. The Academy representatives have listened to our concerns and are considering them. Based on my interactions with them I can say that the Academy team led by Kerry Ignatz is fantastic and that each member cares about enhancing communication and community among our members. In our discussions, they have indicated a change in the policies you note is unlikely but I will raise these concerns with them again. As chair of the Communications  Committee for our division, I will also ask that we add this issue to our agenda at our division's upcoming Midwinter executive committee meeting. 

      In the meantime, once the transition occurs, perhaps it would be beneficial to explore ways members and moderators can post content on behalf of other individuals to Connect as once the transition occurs the Entre listserv will no longer be available. Connect is really an awesome tool and will facilitate enhanced communication within our community but, you are correct, in that it could reduce communication with those outside of our division community.  

      Once again, thank you for your thoughts and your service. Please know that we will continue conversations on these issues with the Academy team. 

      Thank you again,

    Lou Marino
    Communications Committee Chair, Entrepreneurship Division

    Thanks John, for your thoughtful email. You, as much as anyone, truly understand the roots of the listserv and how it can enable open communication across all interested stakeholders in the domain of entrepreneurship, not just those who choose to be affiliated with AOM.

    Like Ted, I completely agree with you.

    As Lou mentioned, we have brought up this issue with AOM and are eager to find a solution.

    We still have a few weeks before the anticipated transition, and Lou and I will continue to work at this and keep everyone updated.

    Best to all, Jeff

    2. Make sure you are a member of the division.  While any member of AOM can view the content of the our Community, only ENT Division members will be able to post to the discussions. So, put differently, Connect@AOM is a member benefit. While non-members may create an account and view Connect@AOM activity, the privilege of posting to and participating in the community is restricted to ENT Division members. Additionally, only ENT community members will be eligible to receive Daily Digest or other push notifications about activity that occurs in the ENT community.

    We will be sharing more information about this transition over the next two weeks. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email Lou Marino who is our Communications Committee Chair at lmarino@cba.ua.edu.

    Thank you John, Ted and Jeff,

    As a (relatively) recent member of AoM and the ENTREP Division, I wanted to throw in my support of your sentiments. There is a lot of interesting interaction in this Division and its listserve, and I don't see any good reason why that same broad level of interaction can't continue through this new Connect@AOM implementation. What the AoM administration may or may not understand is that the high level of accessibility and interaction that our listserve provides IS THE VALUE that we receive from this member benefit. Jeff, please share our sentiments with your colleagues at AoM and make sure they understand that by stripping out the diverse interaction we receive from this member benefit, they will be reducing the level of perceived value we receive from our participation and membership.

    Kind regards,

    Amy

    The Connect Platform is definitely a value added technology compared to the decades old listserve tech but why can't it be an OPEN community which welcomes all who are interested in participating and where the advantages of AOM and Division membership can be DEMONSTRATED through engagement?   This philosophy served the Division well for over 20 years.    Please consider continuing that strategy.

    Hi all,

    We write to share the exciting news that the ENTREP Listserv will be changing soon. It is scheduled to be upgraded to Connect@AOM next month, December 2017.

    Connect@AOM is a new online collaborative tool, designed exclusively for AOM members. This platform dramatically improves the networking tools available to ENT Division members and helps us connect and collaborate with each other. We hope you will find it to be a place where you can ask for advice, share your experiences, and build relationships.

    Here is what you need to do now to get ready:

    1. Make sure you have you preferred/current email listed on your profile with AOM.  Go to Aom.Org, sign in and you can check your profile by clicking "My Profile" in the box in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. Please update your profile and make sure we have your current and correct email address listed.

    Dear colleagues,

    As a naive non-member of the entrepreneurship division, since the AOM includes two divisional memberships as part of the basic fee, being a professor of strategy and international management, who conducts significant inter-disciplinary research, I have always checked strategy and international management for my divisional memberships.    That is with a belief and hope that just as I am contributing to the overall academy, members of the entrepreneurship division who may have cross-walking interests, will appreciate my membership in the academy, as opposed to rejecting my academy membership because of my affiliation with strategy and international management.

    With this, if I may ask a dumb question - would the academy leaders be willing to share transparency index data on how many divisions they are members of, paying regular dues, and if they are not members of some divisions, is the privilege of interacting across divisions a privilege reserved only for those in power roles - and if yes, should we be rewriting our leadership textbooks and rejecting papers focusing on new leadership discourse from the Academy of Management journal, review, and perspectives?    

    warmly,

    Hi all,

    We write to share the exciting news that the ENTREP Listserv will be changing soon. It is scheduled to be upgraded to Connect@AOM next month, December 2017.

    Connect@AOM is a new online collaborative tool, designed exclusively for AOM members. This platform dramatically improves the networking tools available to ENT Division members and helps us connect and collaborate with each other. We hope you will find it to be a place where you can ask for advice, share your experiences, and build relationships.

    Here is what you need to do now to get ready:

    1. Make sure you have you preferred/current email listed on your profile with AOM.  Go to Aom.Org, sign in and you can check your profile by clicking "My Profile" in the box in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. Please update your profile and make sure we have your current and correct email address listed.

    2. Make sure you are a member of the division.  While any member of AOM can view the content of the our Community, only ENT Division members will be able to post to the discussions. So, put differently, Connect@AOM is a member benefit. While non-members may create an account and view Connect@AOM activity, the privilege of posting to and participating in the community is restricted to ENT Division members. Additionally, only ENT community members will be eligible to receive Daily Digest or other push notifications about activity that occurs in the ENT community.

    We will be sharing more information about this transition over the next two weeks. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email Lou Marino who is our Communications Committee Chair at lmarino@cba.ua.edu.

    Best regards,

    Jeff Pollack, Listserv Moderator, Entrepreneurship Division

  • 9.  [ENTREP] important-- ENTREP Listserv will be changing soon (please read)

    Posted 11-29-2017 12:06
    Hi, All --

    I, too, believe that a primary benefit of the listserv has been its accessibility to Division members and non-members alike.  I have often recommended the listserv as a "preview" to grad students who are debating whether to get involved with the Division.  So I hope that the AoM leadership will rethink the new policies.

    But if good sense doesn't prevail at the Academy level, I hope that we can implement some sort of workaround within the Division, as Lou suggests.  Could we, for example, appoint a "pass through" moderator who would post messages on behalf of non-members and who would maintain a forwarding list for Daily Digests and push notifications?  I imagine that someone with the right e-mail skills could automate both these tasks via some combination of flags and filters.

    Best,
    Mark

    Dear colleagues,

    As a naive non-member of the entrepreneurship division, since the AOM includes two divisional memberships as part of the basic fee, being a professor of strategy and international management, who conducts significant inter-disciplinary research, I have always checked strategy and international management for my divisional memberships.    That is with a belief and hope that just as I am contributing to the overall academy, members of the entrepreneurship division who may have cross-walking interests, will appreciate my membership in the academy, as opposed to rejecting my academy membership because of my affiliation with strategy and international management.

    With this, if I may ask a dumb question - would the academy leaders be willing to share transparency index data on how many divisions they are members of, paying regular dues, and if they are not members of some divisions, is the privilege of interacting across divisions a privilege reserved only for those in power roles - and if yes, should we be rewriting our leadership textbooks and rejecting papers focusing on new leadership discourse from the Academy of Management journal, review, and perspectives?

    Thank you John, Ted and Jeff,
    As a (relatively) recent member of AoM and the ENTREP Division, I wanted to throw in my support of your sentiments. There is a lot of interesting interaction in this Division and its listserve, and I don't see any good reason why that same broad level of interaction can't continue through this new Connect@AOM implementation. What the AoM administration may or may not understand is that the high level of accessibility and interaction that our listserve provides IS THE VALUE that we receive from this member benefit. Jeff, please share our sentiments with your colleagues at AoM and make sure they understand that by stripping out the diverse interaction we receive from this member benefit, they will be reducing the level of perceived value we receive from our participation and membership.

    I second Marks thoughts. It is very helpful to have an open line of access for non- academics, such as some of my staff, guest lecturers, clinical faculty and entrepreneurs I'm working with. Some of them find the discussions interesting and it helps them understand what we are about as Entrepreneurship researchers and educators. It would be a shame to lose that and close ourselves off further then we already have.

    Hi all,

    We write to share the exciting news that the ENTREP Listserv will be changing soon. It is scheduled to be upgraded to Connect@AOM next month, December 2017.

    Connect@AOM is a new online collaborative tool, designed exclusively for AOM members. This platform dramatically improves the networking tools available to ENT Division members and helps us connect and collaborate with each other. We hope you will find it to be a place where you can ask for advice, share your experiences, and build relationships.

    Here is what you need to do now to get ready:

    1. Make sure you have you preferred/current email listed on your profile with AOM.  Go to Aom.Org, sign in and you can check your profile by clicking "My Profile" in the box in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. Please update your profile and make sure we have your current and correct email address listed.

    2. Make sure you are a member of the division.  While any member of AOM can view the content of the our Community, only ENT Division members will be able to post to the discussions. So, put differently, Connect@AOM is a member benefit. While non-members may create an account and view Connect@AOM activity, the privilege of posting to and participating in the community is restricted to ENT Division members. Additionally, only ENT community members will be eligible to receive Daily Digest or other push notifications about activity that occurs in the ENT community.

    We will be sharing more information about this transition over the next two weeks. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email Lou Marino who is our Communications Committee Chair at lmarino@cba.ua.edu.

    Best regards,

    Jeff Pollack, Listserv Moderator, Entrepreneurship Division

    I second Marks thoughts. It is very helpful to have an open line of access for non- academics, such as some of my staff, guest lecturers, clinical faculty and entrepreneurs I'm working with. Some of them find the discussions interesting and it helps them understand what we are about as Entrepreneurship researchers and educators. It would be a shame to lose that and close ourselves off further then we already have.

    Hi, All --

    I, too, believe that a primary benefit of the listserv has been its accessibility to Division members and non-members alike.  I have often recommended the listserv as a "preview" to grad students who are debating whether to get involved with the Division.  So I hope that the AoM leadership will rethink the new policies.

    But if good sense doesn't prevail at the Academy level, I hope that we can implement some sort of workaround within the Division, as Lou suggests.  Could we, for example, appoint a "pass through" moderator who would post messages on behalf of non-members and who would maintain a forwarding list for Daily Digests and push notifications?  I imagine that someone with the right e-mail skills could automate both these tasks via some combination of flags and filters.

    Best,
    Mark

    Dear colleagues,

    As a naive non-member of the entrepreneurship division, since the AOM includes two divisional memberships as part of the basic fee, being a professor of strategy and international management, who conducts significant inter-disciplinary research, I have always checked strategy and international management for my divisional memberships.    That is with a belief and hope that just as I am contributing to the overall academy, members of the entrepreneurship division who may have cross-walking interests, will appreciate my membership in the academy, as opposed to rejecting my academy membership because of my affiliation with strategy and international management.

    With this, if I may ask a dumb question - would the academy leaders be willing to share transparency index data on how many divisions they are members of, paying regular dues, and if they are not members of some divisions, is the privilege of interacting across divisions a privilege reserved only for those in power roles - and if yes, should we be rewriting our leadership textbooks and rejecting papers focusing on new leadership discourse from the Academy of Management journal, review, and perspectives?    

    warmly,

    Thank you John, Ted and Jeff,
    As a (relatively) recent member of AoM and the ENTREP Division, I wanted to throw in my support of your sentiments. There is a lot of interesting interaction in this Division and its listserve, and I don't see any good reason why that same broad level of interaction can't continue through this new Connect@AOM implementation. What the AoM administration may or may not understand is that the high level of accessibility and interaction that our listserve provides IS THE VALUE that we receive from this member benefit. Jeff, please share our sentiments with your colleagues at AoM and make sure they understand that by stripping out the diverse interaction we receive from this member benefit, they will be reducing the level of perceived value we receive from our participation and membership.
    Kind regards,

    I have just learned that the Entrep@aomlists.aom.org is going to transform to the Connect platform next month.     The Entrepreneurship Listserve was created in the 1990s with no barriers to membership.  To join, all you had to have was an interest in Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurship scholarship, or Entrepreneurship education.   That was an intentional strategy that I believe helped to introduce many scholars to the Academy of Management and to our Division.   I believe that it was also a successful idea and contributed to the success of our Division recruiting efforts.
     
    Quite frankly, I am sorry to see the change of the list into a space where only members of the Division will have full participation rights.    I know that times change and many marketing gurus believe that  such a 'new' philosophy of exclusivity will add perceived value to membership but I really do not believe this.    
     
    Rather, I believe that it will shut out many of the past participants in fruitful discussions,  scholars from different fields of study where Entrepreneurship is needed and relevant (e.g. the creative arts community), from other levels of academia and Ent Support (community colleges,  SBA and SBDC communities, etc.) and from actual participation by ENTREPRENEURS who have an interest in Entrep. Education and Theory.  
     
    Old dogs often bemoan the passing of something that they helped to create and I am wary of falling into that stereotype, BUT I want everyone to pause and think.  Do we really want to create barriers to participating in our exciting community?
     
    I became an active member of our Division as a Ph.D. Student predominately because the Division was so welcoming to anyone with an interest in Entrepreneurship.   It did not matter what school you taught at, where your degrees were from or who you worked with.    It did not matter whether you published in top tier journals, or other outlets, or even had much of a scholarship record at all or whether you had a recognized "name."   You were welcomed into the tribe and mentored.  Senior scholars visited with you with real interest and encouraged what we might now recognize as the entrepreneurial mindset -- hey, what are YOU interested in?  Wow, that fascinating!  Lets do something together, or here is who you should talk to....   I want to see that tradition continue:)

    Thank you Lou for your understanding,
    Just a short comment from the other side of the Atlantic.
    As part of the large number of scholars outside the USA who recognize the Entrepreneurship division of AOM as the leading forum in entrepreneurship related research and education, it has been invaluable as a source of information and inspiration.
    And we have had so far the opportunity to share our humble contribution.

    As many of you are sharing, I think this is probably good added value to you (members), but it is certainly extremely valuable to us.

    Hope some sort of solution is devised.
    It would be really sad to lose contact with all of you.

    Thank you Lou for your understanding,

    Just a short comment from the other side of the Atlantic.

    As part of the large number of scholars outside the USA who recognize the Entrepreneurship division of AOM as the leading forum in entrepreneurship related research and education, it has been invaluable as a source of information and inspiration.

    And we have had so far the opportunity to share our humble contribution.

     

    As many of you are sharing, I think this is probably good added value to you (members), but it is certainly extremely valuable to us.

     

    Hope some sort of solution is devised.

    It would be really sad to lose contact with all of you.

    Best regards,

    Paco Liñán

    Posted 11-30-2017 15:58
    Hi all,

    Just continuing with the conversation about Listserv. I am a student currently finishing my masters, and this has been so helpful to me not only to keep updated about entrepreneurship research in general but also to connect with scholars all over the world. As a relatively naive person, I found Listserv particularly helpful and having to pay for new platform would mean that students like me will remain largely disconnected from other scholars. The only question that is an obvious one is - Does the new system actually integrate all possible actors that contribute to this diverse field of entrepreneurship or is it actually going to create a divide? I must say my opinion sides with the latter on this occasion, unfortunately!

    I hope someone somewhere can come up with something new and bring diverse people with diverse opinions together as an alternative to the new proposed system.

    Cheers,
    Angel Sharma

    Posted 11-30-2017 21:45
    Lou - people won't use Connect then... why would they? Paywall or no paywall is an easy choice. I keep thinking... why break something that works? 
    I think the key has to be eliminating the 'paywall' - keep some threads password-protected where it's necessary/desirable to keep the topic in-house.

    It's also clear from the responses that we need to be MORE inviting, not less. However, that seems 180 degrees from AoM's desires. Also, they claim to want more interaction across Divisions and that's clearly not going to happen. 

    Maybe we focus on using Facebook... maybe Facebook will be a Division sponsor!


    p.s. if we keep the listserv, PLEASE remove the digest option - there are people going to read this thread in a week wondering what the heck is happening, LOL

    It would be really sad to lose contact with all of you.

    Hi Norris,

      Fair points. As our intermediary with Academy I don't necessarily want to rule anything out yet. From my conversations with Kerry's team they do seem to want to be more inclusive and to foster a stronger sense of community. Kerry and her team seem to genuinely care about making this work for everyone.  Obviously their first proposal does not meet those goals and they have certainly heard, and seem to appreciate our concerns.    

     I would like to see what they propose in response to our concerns and what the technology can do. Perhaps I am being naive
    but I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and would like to see what they propose.  I have faith in them. 

      Perhaps more importantly, I have faith in our division's leadership team. At the end of the day, the divison's Executive Committee is committed to meeting the needs of our members. I am confident a solution will be devised that meets the needs of our stakeholders.
     
      Your humble servant,

    Lou

    I think the key has to be eliminating the 'paywall' - keep some threads password-protected where it's necessary/desirable to keep the topic in-house.

    It's also clear from the responses that we need to be MORE inviting, not less. However, that seems 180 degrees from AoM's desires. Also, they claim to want more interaction across Divisions and that's clearly not going to happen. 

    Maybe we focus on using Facebook... maybe Facebook will be a Division sponsor!


    p.s. if we keep the listserv, PLEASE remove the digest option - there are people going to read this thread in a week wondering what the heck is happening, LOL

    EIX.org, an online source of articles, cases, exercises, videos, etc. will provide the listserve in partnership with AOM, if AOM is willing. If not we are willing to create an open listserve for the community to replace Entrep-l.

  • 23.  [ENTREP] important-- ENTREP Listserv will be changing soon (please read)

    Posted 12-01-2017 03:44
    I have to agree with Norris. At present, as a donor, if I have to pay for the service I will probably drop it.  As a contributor to my inbox, it's often interesting and only occasionally an annoyance. As something I would pay for, the annoyance factor would mushroom. I would instead choose to only access it through people I already know who are participants (i.e. Norris), and never directly with the listserve itself. It would therefore effectively end my project of trying to incorporate good scholarship and broaden the base of people who are included in the development projects we design and fund. No more emails about our recent $60 million contract on private sector development in Tunisia, no more appeals to broaden the base of our short term assistance pool, etc. and probably the lose of a good source of both ideas and contacts for things like funding a five year chair in family business, microentrepreneurship, etc.

    So, if it's up for a vote. I vote NO. I already pay for my AOM executive membership and ENT sig dues, and as a non-academic, the chances of participating in the leadership of either are vanishingly small; so, if the list serve goes fee-for-Service, then what really are my dues buying for me? Why again should I remain with the AOM? Esp. If this year is a repeat of the last six and I can't logistically get to the annual meeting because I'm in Central Asia.

    Just some food for though,

  • 24.  [ENTREP] important-- ENTREP Listserv will be changing soon (please read)

    Posted 12-01-2017 08:18
    Hi Scott,

      Thank you for the email. Just to clarify, essentially, if you are a division member you are already paying for the listserv service.  The listserv and the community would be included with the active membership for our division and for every division of which you are an active member.  You would be considered an active member if you have paid your Academy dues and chose Entrepreneurship as one of your two free divisions, or if you paid the additional $11 to add Entrepreneurship as an extra division.  The main question under consideration is whether, and to what extent, these services should be available to those who are not active members of the Entrepreneurship division.
     
       The listserv is currently structured as an open access, opt-in model service (a person must choose to join the listserv). As of July, we had 3,111 members of the listserv.  Interestingly, based on email addresses registered with Academy, only about 20.85% of our active division membership is currently on the listserv. One of the rationales given for moving to the new model is to be able to go to a community-based opt-out model where all active division members are automatically included in the listserv and may choose to opt out. 

      If they went exclusively with an opt-out, walled garden approach, the immediate result would be an increase in the listserv membership from approximately 3,111 to over 3,539 (our division membership as of July).  However, 76.27% of our current 3,111 listserv subscribers are not active Academy members. If they combined those currently signed up with the opt-in listserv model who are not division members with the community model the listserv could grow to 5,501 participants.  The actual number would probably be a little lower due to duplication as some people may have one email registered with Academy and use another for the listserv. 

      We are currently advocating for the combined model that expands the listserv.  Kerry and her team have been receptive to the idea and are checking into whether the platform will facilitate this.  There are a number of proposals being considered, all of which, to varying degrees, are responsive to the concerns that have been expressed.

      We will keep you posted as the discussions continue.

      Best Regards,

    Lou

    Thank you Lou for your understanding,
    Just a short comment from the other side of the Atlantic.
    As part of the large number of scholars outside the USA who recognize the Entrepreneurship division of AOM as the leading forum in entrepreneurship related research and education, it has been invaluable as a source of information and inspiration.
    And we have had so far the opportunity to share our humble contribution.

    As many of you are sharing, I think this is probably good added value to you (members), but it is certainly extremely valuable to us.

    Hope some sort of solution is devised.
    It would be really sad to lose contact with all of you.

    One of the very positive features of entrepreneurship as a field -- back in the "old days" when I first joined (yeah, I'm that old) was its welcoming attitude toward all comers, regardless of disciplinary background, or academic training at all.  In our new globalized world, I applaud the degree to which the Division has become international.  But I wonder whether that might be yet another benefit that could be lost if AoM membership becomes a requirement for participating in our public exchanges.  I'm willing to bet that the universe of people interested in entrepreneurship conversations is quite a bit larger than the universe of people for whom it makes any sense at all to be members of the AoM.  So please add this former Division Chair's voice to the chorus hoping to keep our exchanges as open as possible.


    Best,

    I second Marks thoughts. It is very helpful to have an open line of access for non- academics, such as some of my staff, guest lecturers, clinical faculty and entrepreneurs I'm working with. Some of them find the discussions interesting and it helps them understand what we are about as Entrepreneurship researchers and educators. It would be a shame to lose that and close ourselves off further then we already have.

    Hi, All --

    I, too, believe that a primary benefit of the listserv has been its accessibility to Division members and non-members alike.  I have often recommended the listserv as a "preview" to grad students who are debating whether to get involved with the Division.  So I hope that the AoM leadership will rethink the new policies.

    But if good sense doesn't prevail at the Academy level, I hope that we can implement some sort of workaround within the Division, as Lou suggests.  Could we, for example, appoint a "pass through" moderator who would post messages on behalf of non-members and who would maintain a forwarding list for Daily Digests and push notifications?  I imagine that someone with the right e-mail skills could automate both these tasks via some combination of flags and filters.

    Dear colleagues,

    As a naive non-member of the entrepreneurship division, since the AOM includes two divisional memberships as part of the basic fee, being a professor of strategy and international management, who conducts significant inter-disciplinary research, I have always checked strategy and international management for my divisional memberships.    That is with a belief and hope that just as I am contributing to the overall academy, members of the entrepreneurship division who may have cross-walking interests, will appreciate my membership in the academy, as opposed to rejecting my academy membership because of my affiliation with strategy and international management.

    With this, if I may ask a dumb question - would the academy leaders be willing to share transparency index data on how many divisions they are members of, paying regular dues, and if they are not members of some divisions, is the privilege of interacting across divisions a privilege reserved only for those in power roles - and if yes, should we be rewriting our leadership textbooks and rejecting papers focusing on new leadership discourse from the Academy of Management journal, review, and perspectives?

    Thank you John, Ted and Jeff,
    As a (relatively) recent member of AoM and the ENTREP Division, I wanted to throw in my support of your sentiments. There is a lot of interesting interaction in this Division and its listserve, and I don't see any good reason why that same broad level of interaction can't continue through this new Connect@AOM implementation. What the AoM administration may or may not understand is that the high level of accessibility and interaction that our listserve provides IS THE VALUE that we receive from this member benefit. Jeff, please share our sentiments with your colleagues at AoM and make sure they understand that by stripping out the diverse interaction we receive from this member benefit, they will be reducing the level of perceived value we receive from our participation and membership.

    I have just learned that the Entrep@aomlists.aom.org is going to transform to the Connect platform next month.     The Entrepreneurship Listserve was created in the 1990s with no barriers to membership.  To join, all you had to have was an interest in Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurship scholarship, or Entrepreneurship education.   That was an intentional strategy that I believe helped to introduce many scholars to the Academy of Management and to our Division.   I believe that it was also a successful idea and contributed to the success of our Division recruiting efforts.
     
    Quite frankly, I am sorry to see the change of the list into a space where only members of the Division will have full participation rights.    I know that times change and many marketing gurus believe that  such a 'new' philosophy of exclusivity will add perceived value to membership but I really do not believe this.    
     
    Rather, I believe that it will shut out many of the past participants in fruitful discussions,  scholars from different fields of study where Entrepreneurship is needed and relevant (e.g. the creative arts community), from other levels of academia and Ent Support (community colleges,  SBA and SBDC communities, etc.) and from actual participation by ENTREPRENEURS who have an interest in Entrep. Education and Theory.  
     
    Old dogs often bemoan the passing of something that they helped to create and I am wary of falling into that stereotype, BUT I want everyone to pause and think.  Do we really want to create barriers to participating in our exciting community?
     
    I became an active member of our Division as a Ph.D. Student predominately because the Division was so welcoming to anyone with an interest in Entrepreneurship.   It did not matter what school you taught at, where your degrees were from or who you worked with.    It did not matter whether you published in top tier journals, or other outlets, or even had much of a scholarship record at all or whether you had a recognized "name."   You were welcomed into the tribe and mentored.  Senior scholars visited with you with real interest and encouraged what we might now recognize as the entrepreneurial mindset -- hey, what are YOU interested in?  Wow, that fascinating!  Lets do something together, or here is who you should talk to....   I want to see that tradition continue:)
     
    The Connect Platform is definitely a value added technology compared to the decades old listserve tech but why can't it be an OPEN community which welcomes all who are interested in participating and where the advantages of AOM and Division membership can be DEMONSTRATED through engagement?   This philosophy served the Division well for over 20 years.    Please consider continuing that strategy.

    Hi all,

    We write to share the exciting news that the ENTREP Listserv will be changing soon. It is scheduled to be upgraded to Connect@AOM next month, December 2017.

    Connect@AOM is a new online collaborative tool, designed exclusively for AOM members. This platform dramatically improves the networking tools available to ENT Division members and helps us connect and collaborate with each other. We hope you will find it to be a place where you can ask for advice, share your experiences, and build relationships.

    Here is what you need to do now to get ready:

    1. Make sure you have you preferred/current email listed on your profile with AOM.  Go to Aom.Org, sign in and you can check your profile by clicking "My Profile" in the box in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. Please update your profile and make sure we have your current and correct email address listed.

    2. Make sure you are a member of the division.  While any member of AOM can view the content of the our Community, only ENT Division members will be able to post to the discussions. So, put differently, Connect@AOM is a member benefit. While non-members may create an account and view Connect@AOM activity, the privilege of posting to and participating in the community is restricted to ENT Division members. Additionally, only ENT community members will be eligible to receive Daily Digest or other push notifications about activity that occurs in the ENT community.

    We will be sharing more information about this transition over the next two weeks. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email Lou Marino who is our Communications Committee Chair at lmarino@cba.ua.edu.

    Best regards,

    Jeff Pollack, Listserv Moderator, Entrepreneurship Division

  • 27.  [ENTREP] important-- ENTREP Listserv will be changing soon (please read)

    Posted 11-29-2017 14:07
    "One Ring to Rule Them All' - how did THAT work out? :) 

    We've had some good discussions on the listserv (including the one where I got asked if I thought I was God, LOL) and the volume of posts was low enough to not be overwhelming. However, the greatest discussions I've had online were on Facebook. I remember a ~4 day* rolling discussion on experiential entrep ed & assessing impact that kept going as scholars across the world chimed in along with entrepreneurs, policymakers and, yes, even real educators :)  Man, that was a blast. On FB**, your friends will see your posts and a few did chime in on the discussion (as in "geez, what the heck are you talking out?" AND "hey, you guys know your stuff"). We'll never get that on AomConnect, I fear... I've had delightful discussions on Twitter where I could engage with global colleagues (e.g., the recent RENT conference).  I'd rather chat with you all on SoMe... and listservs are kinda clunky. 

    I'm not sure we NEED AomConnect... unless we can use it to our advantage. In Atlanta, Lou told us that we can be flexible with permissions? Make it more like an old-school message board -we can have insider-only threads where confidentiality matters (no idea what those might be, tbh) Or maybe we code the API so all of our threads export from (and import to) another vehicle like a listserv/message board/etc.??  Lou, can we have chat rooms for specialized discussions that don't bore everyone else (or for necessarily private chats like the Awards Cmte)?  

    Demonic idea #1: ENT goes freemium & adds an Honorary Member category (price = no lurking, must contribute). That slices the Gordian Knot?

    Lou also suggested (?) that we can make it easy to cross-talk with other Divisions... but make no mistake, AoM wants to own/control all of this. Possibly for good reasons. Or bad (run amok PC, monetizing further... I can fully imagine AoM devising a "premium" membership - you know they've thought about it, LOL)

    ENT is a guinea pig for a reason - we are demonically clever*** and if they embrace that, we can do a big service to AoM as a whole. Also, Lou M is the right guy to lead this despite his shameless support of the SEC :) 

    Anyway... my mentor, the amazing Al Shapero, liked to say "No matter how you design a system, smart humans will make it work anyway!" :) 

    See you on Facebook (and Twitter and LinkedIn) - will accept friend requests on all 3. I suspect that no matter what happens, those great discussions will keep happening on FB!****

    I love you all! 


    * that was nuts and seems to happen a couple times a year... and one of those 4 days was my birthday! ;)
    ** not the FB group, alas... we are not good at using that or Linkedin.
    *** think Tom Ellis [bonus pts if you get that ;) ]

    One of the very positive features of entrepreneurship as a field -- back in the "old days" when I first joined (yeah, I'm that old) was its welcoming attitude toward all comers, regardless of disciplinary background, or academic training at all.  In our new globalized world, I applaud the degree to which the Division has become international.  But I wonder whether that might be yet another benefit that could be lost if AoM membership becomes a requirement for participating in our public exchanges.  I'm willing to bet that the universe of people interested in entrepreneurship conversations is quite a bit larger than the universe of people for whom it makes any sense at all to be members of the AoM.  So please add this former Division Chair's voice to the chorus hoping to keep our exchanges as open as possible.

    I second Marks thoughts. It is very helpful to have an open line of access for non- academics, such as some of my staff, guest lecturers, clinical faculty and entrepreneurs I'm working with. Some of them find the discussions interesting and it helps them understand what we are about as Entrepreneurship researchers and educators. It would be a shame to lose that and close ourselves off further then we already have.

    Hi, All --

    I, too, believe that a primary benefit of the listserv has been its accessibility to Division members and non-members alike.  I have often recommended the listserv as a "preview" to grad students who are debating whether to get involved with the Division.  So I hope that the AoM leadership will rethink the new policies.

    But if good sense doesn't prevail at the Academy level, I hope that we can implement some sort of workaround within the Division, as Lou suggests.  Could we, for example, appoint a "pass through" moderator who would post messages on behalf of non-members and who would maintain a forwarding list for Daily Digests and push notifications?  I imagine that someone with the right e-mail skills could automate both these tasks via some combination of flags and filters.

    Dear colleagues,

    As a naive non-member of the entrepreneurship division, since the AOM includes two divisional memberships as part of the basic fee, being a professor of strategy and international management, who conducts significant inter-disciplinary research, I have always checked strategy and international management for my divisional memberships.    That is with a belief and hope that just as I am contributing to the overall academy, members of the entrepreneurship division who may have cross-walking interests, will appreciate my membership in the academy, as opposed to rejecting my academy membership because of my affiliation with strategy and international management.

    With this, if I may ask a dumb question - would the academy leaders be willing to share transparency index data on how many divisions they are members of, paying regular dues, and if they are not members of some divisions, is the privilege of interacting across divisions a privilege reserved only for those in power roles - and if yes, should we be rewriting our leadership textbooks and rejecting papers focusing on new leadership discourse from the Academy of Management journal, review, and perspectives?

    Thank you John, Ted and Jeff,
    As a (relatively) recent member of AoM and the ENTREP Division, I wanted to throw in my support of your sentiments. There is a lot of interesting interaction in this Division and its listserve, and I don't see any good reason why that same broad level of interaction can't continue through this new Connect@AOM implementation. What the AoM administration may or may not understand is that the high level of accessibility and interaction that our listserve provides IS THE VALUE that we receive from this member benefit. Jeff, please share our sentiments with your colleagues at AoM and make sure they understand that by stripping out the diverse interaction we receive from this member benefit, they will be reducing the level of perceived value we receive from our participation and membership.

    Rather, I believe that it will shut out many of the past participants in fruitful discussions,  scholars from different fields of study where Entrepreneurship is needed and relevant (e.g. the creative arts community), from other levels of academia and Ent Support (community colleges,  SBA and SBDC communities, etc.) and from actual participation by ENTREPRENEURS who have an interest in Entrep.

    Old dogs often bemoan the passing of something that they helped to create and I am wary of falling into that stereotype, BUT I want everyone to pause and think.  Do we really want to create barriers to participating in our exciting community?
     
    I became an active member of our Division as a Ph.D. Student predominately because the Division was so welcoming to anyone with an interest in Entrepreneurship.   It did not matter what school you taught at, where your degrees were from or who you worked with.    It did not matter whether you published in top tier journals, or other outlets, or even had much of a scholarship record at all or whether you had a recognized "name."   You were welcomed into the tribe and mentored.  Senior scholars visited with you with real interest and encouraged what we might now recognize as the entrepreneurial mindset -- hey, what are YOU interested in?  Wow, that fascinating!  Lets do something together, or here is who you should talk to....   I want to see that tradition continue:)
     
    The Connect Platform is definitely a value added technology compared to the decades old listserve tech but why can't it be an OPEN community which welcomes all who are interested in participating and where the advantages of AOM and Division membership can be DEMONSTRATED through engagement?   This philosophy served the Division well for over 20 years.    Please consider continuing that strategy.

    Hi all,

    We write to share the exciting news that the ENTREP Listserv will be changing soon. It is scheduled to be upgraded to Connect@AOM next month, December 2017.

    Connect@AOM is a new online collaborative tool, designed exclusively for AOM members. This platform dramatically improves the networking tools available to ENT Division members and helps us connect and collaborate with each other. We hope you will find it to be a place where you can ask for advice, share your experiences, and build relationships.

    Here is what you need to do now to get ready:

    1. Make sure you have you preferred/current email listed on your profile with AOM.  Go to Aom.Org, sign in and you can check your profile by clicking "My Profile" in the box in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. Please update your profile and make sure we have your current and correct email address listed.

    2. Make sure you are a member of the division.  While any member of AOM can view the content of the our Community, only ENT Division members will be able to post to the discussions. So, put differently, Connect@AOM is a member benefit. While non-members may create an account and view Connect@AOM activity, the privilege of posting to and participating in the community is restricted to ENT Division members. Additionally, only ENT community members will be eligible to receive Daily Digest or other push notifications about activity that occurs in the ENT community.

    We will be sharing more information about this transition over the next two weeks. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email Lou Marino who is our Communications Committee Chair at lmarino@cba.ua.edu.

    Best regards,

    Jeff Pollack, Listserv Moderator, Entrepreneurship Division

  • 28.  [ENTREP] important-- ENTREP Listserv will be changing soon (please read)

    Posted 11-29-2017 13:33
    Folks:

              I just want to chime in as a non-AOM member, but active reader/participant in the listserve. I was a member of the Academy for 16 years when I was a full-time professor. I now teach adjunct at Duke University (Fuqua) and the University of Notre Dame (Mendoza) in both Strategy and Entrepreneurship (MBA & EMBA). I have found the listserve invaluable in my efforts to deliver the latest thinking to my classes. Most universities rely heavily upon adjunct faculty to teach in their programs. I would hate to see us cut off that access simply because we are no longer paying AOM. I realize this might happen anyway, but as many have said, would like to find a way to stay actively connected to those of you on the cutting edge of research in the field. Just my two cents.

    1. Make sure you have you preferred/current email listed on your profile with AOM.  Go to Aom.Org, sign in and you can check your profile by clicking "My Profile" in the box in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. Please update your profile and make sure we have your current and correct email address listed.

    2. Make sure you are a member of the division.  While any member of AOM can view the content of the our Community, only ENT Division members will be able to post to the discussions. So, put differently, Connect@AOM is a member benefit. While non-members may create an account and view Connect@AOM activity, the privilege of posting to and participating in the community is restricted to ENT Division members. Additionally, only ENT community members will be eligible to receive Daily Digest or other push notifications about activity that occurs in the ENT community.

    We will be sharing more information about this transition over the next two weeks. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email Lou Marino who is our Communications Committee Chair at lmarino@cba.ua.edu.

    I second Marks thoughts. It is very helpful to have an open line of access for non- academics, such as some of my staff, guest lecturers, clinical faculty and entrepreneurs I'm working with. Some of them find the discussions interesting and it helps them understand what we are about as Entrepreneurship researchers and educators. It would be a shame to lose that and close ourselves off further then we already have.

    Hi, All --

     

    I, too, believe that a primary benefit of the listserv has been its accessibility to Division members and non-members alike.  I have often recommended the listserv as a "preview" to grad students who are debating whether to get involved with the Division.  So I hope that the AoM leadership will rethink the new policies.

     

    But if good sense doesn't prevail at the Academy level, I hope that we can implement some sort of workaround within the Division, as Lou suggests.  Could we, for example, appoint a "pass through" moderator who would post messages on behalf of non-members and who would maintain a forwarding list for Daily Digests and push notifications?  I imagine that someone with the right e-mail skills could automate both these tasks via some combination of flags and filters.

    Dear colleagues,

     

    As a naive non-member of the entrepreneurship division, since the AOM includes two divisional memberships as part of the basic fee, being a professor of strategy and international management, who conducts significant inter-disciplinary research, I have always checked strategy and international management for my divisional memberships.    That is with a belief and hope that just as I am contributing to the overall academy, members of the entrepreneurship division who may have cross-walking interests, will appreciate my membership in the academy, as opposed to rejecting my academy membership because of my affiliation with strategy and international management.

     

    With this, if I may ask a dumb question - would the academy leaders be willing to share transparency index data on how many divisions they are members of, paying regular dues, and if they are not members of some divisions, is the privilege of interacting across divisions a privilege reserved only for those in power roles - and if yes, should we be rewriting our leadership textbooks and rejecting papers focusing on new leadership discourse from the Academy of Management journal, review, and perspectives?    

     

    warmly,

    Thank you John, Ted and Jeff,

    As a (relatively) recent member of AoM and the ENTREP Division, I wanted to throw in my support of your sentiments. There is a lot of interesting interaction in this Division and its listserve, and I don't see any good reason why that same broad level of interaction can't continue through this new Connect@AOM implementation. What the AoM administration may or may not understand is that the high level of accessibility and interaction that our listserve provides IS THE VALUE that we receive from this member benefit. Jeff, please share our sentiments with your colleagues at AoM and make sure they understand that by stripping out the diverse interaction we receive from this member benefit, they will be reducing the level of perceived value we receive from our participation and membership.

    Kind regards,

    I have just learned that the Entrep@aomlists.aom.org is going to transform to the Connect platform next month.     The Entrepreneurship Listserve was created in the 1990s with no barriers to membership.  To join, all you had to have was an interest in Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurship scholarship, or Entrepreneurship education.   That was an intentional strategy that I believe helped to introduce many scholars to the Academy of Management and to our Division.   I believe that it was also a successful idea and contributed to the success of our Division recruiting efforts.

     

    Quite frankly, I am sorry to see the change of the list into a space where only members of the Division will have full participation rights.    I know that times change and many marketing gurus believe that  such a 'new' philosophy of exclusivity will add perceived value to membership but I really do not believe this.    

     

    Rather, I believe that it will shut out many of the past participants in fruitful discussions,  scholars from different fields of study where Entrepreneurship is needed and relevant (e.g. the creative arts community), from other levels of academia and Ent Support (community colleges,  SBA and SBDC communities, etc.) and from actual participation by ENTREPRENEURS who have an interest in Entrep. Education and Theory.  

     

    Old dogs often bemoan the passing of something that they helped to create and I am wary of falling into that stereotype, BUT I want everyone to pause and think.  Do we really want to create barriers to participating in our exciting community?

     

    I became an active member of our Division as a Ph.D. Student predominately because the Division was so welcoming to anyone with an interest in Entrepreneurship.   It did not matter what school you taught at, where your degrees were from or who you worked with.    It did not matter whether you published in top tier journals, or other outlets, or even had much of a scholarship record at all or whether you had a recognized "name."   You were welcomed into the tribe and mentored.  Senior scholars visited with you with real interest and encouraged what we might now recognize as the entrepreneurial mindset -- hey, what are YOU interested in?  Wow, that fascinating!  Lets do something together, or here is who you should talk to....   I want to see that tradition continue:)

     

    The Connect Platform is definitely a value added technology compared to the decades old listserve tech but why can't it be an OPEN community which welcomes all who are interested in participating and where the advantages of AOM and Division membership can be DEMONSTRATED through engagement?   This philosophy served the Division well for over 20 years.    Please consider continuing that strategy.

    Hi all,

    We write to share the exciting news that the ENTREP Listserv will be changing soon. It is scheduled to be upgraded to Connect@AOM next month, December 2017.

    Connect@AOM is a new online collaborative tool, designed exclusively for AOM members. This platform dramatically improves the networking tools available to ENT Division members and helps us connect and collaborate with each other. We hope you will find it to be a place where you can ask for advice, share your experiences, and build relationships.

    Here is what you need to do now to get ready:

    1. Make sure you have you preferred/current email listed on your profile with AOM.  Go to Aom.Org, sign in and you can check your profile by clicking "My Profile" in the box in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. Please update your profile and make sure we have your current and correct email address listed.

    2. Make sure you are a member of the division.  While any member of AOM can view the content of the our Community, only ENT Division members will be able to post to the discussions. So, put differently, Connect@AOM is a member benefit. While non-members may create an account and view Connect@AOM activity, the privilege of posting to and participating in the community is restricted to ENT Division members. Additionally, only ENT community members will be eligible to receive Daily Digest or other push notifications about activity that occurs in the ENT community.

    We will be sharing more information about this transition over the next two weeks. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email Lou Marino who is our Communications Committee Chair at lmarino@cba.ua.edu.

    Thank you John, Ted and Jeff,

    As a (relatively) recent member of AoM and the ENTREP Division, I wanted to throw in my support of your sentiments. There is a lot of interesting interaction in this Division and its listserve, and I don't see any good reason why that same broad level of interaction can't continue through this new Connect@AOM implementation. What the AoM administration may or may not understand is that the high level of accessibility and interaction that our listserve provides IS THE VALUE that we receive from this member benefit. Jeff, please share our sentiments with your colleagues at AoM and make sure they understand that by stripping out the diverse interaction we receive from this member benefit, they will be reducing the level of perceived value we receive from our participation and membership.

    The Connect Platform is definitely a value added technology compared to the decades old listserve tech but why can't it be an OPEN community which welcomes all who are interested in participating and where the advantages of AOM and Division membership can be DEMONSTRATED through engagement?   This philosophy served the Division well for over 20 years.    Please consider continuing that strategy.

    Hi all,

    We write to share the exciting news that the ENTREP Listserv will be changing soon. It is scheduled to be upgraded to Connect@AOM next month, December 2017.

    Connect@AOM is a new online collaborative tool, designed exclusively for AOM members. This platform dramatically improves the networking tools available to ENT Division members and helps us connect and collaborate with each other. We hope you will find it to be a place where you can ask for advice, share your experiences, and build relationships.

    Here is what you need to do now to get ready:

    1. Make sure you have you preferred/current email listed on your profile with AOM.  Go to Aom.Org, sign in and you can check your profile by clicking "My Profile" in the box in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. Please update your profile and make sure we have your current and correct email address listed.

    2. Make sure you are a member of the division.  While any member of AOM can view the content of the our Community, only ENT Division members will be able to post to the discussions. So, put differently, Connect@AOM is a member benefit. While non-members may create an account and view Connect@AOM activity, the privilege of posting to and participating in the community is restricted to ENT Division members. Additionally, only ENT community members will be eligible to receive Daily Digest or other push notifications about activity that occurs in the ENT community.

    We will be sharing more information about this transition over the next two weeks. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email Lou Marino who is our Communications Committee Chair at lmarino@cba.ua.edu.

  • 31.  [ENTREP] important-- ENTREP Listserv will be changing soon (please read)

    Posted 11-30-2017 19:00

    I agree with David and others that have voiced concerns about open access. To those voices I'd also like to add that by implementing a pay as you go plan, we may limit access among scholars, practitioners and entrepreneurs. But we also risk narrowing the pipeline of those served and who directly benefit from participating in social enterprises and hearing their voices. On my account, I would regret not seeing a post by a person who is now employed in an enterprise and who may have been chronically unemployed before that, They are after all our customers and why would we not want to make it easiest to hear their narratives and advance the field by their recommendations?

    I second Marks thoughts. It is very helpful to have an open line of access for non- academics, such as some of my staff, guest lecturers, clinical faculty and entrepreneurs I'm working with. Some of them find the discussions interesting and it helps them understand what we are about as Entrepreneurship researchers and educators. It would be a shame to lose that and close ourselves off further then we already have.

    Hi, All --

     

    I, too, believe that a primary benefit of the listserv has been its accessibility to Division members and non-members alike.  I have often recommended the listserv as a "preview" to grad students who are debating whether to get involved with the Division.  So I hope that the AoM leadership will rethink the new policies.

     

    But if good sense doesn't prevail at the Academy level, I hope that we can implement some sort of workaround within the Division, as Lou suggests.  Could we, for example, appoint a "pass through" moderator who would post messages on behalf of non-members and who would maintain a forwarding list for Daily Digests and push notifications?  I imagine that someone with the right e-mail skills could automate both these tasks via some combination of flags and filters.

     

    Best,

    Mark

    Dear colleagues,

     

    As a naive non-member of the entrepreneurship division, since the AOM includes two divisional memberships as part of the basic fee, being a professor of strategy and international management, who conducts significant inter-disciplinary research, I have always checked strategy and international management for my divisional memberships.    That is with a belief and hope that just as I am contributing to the overall academy, members of the entrepreneurship division who may have cross-walking interests, will appreciate my membership in the academy, as opposed to rejecting my academy membership because of my affiliation with strategy and international management.

     

    With this, if I may ask a dumb question - would the academy leaders be willing to share transparency index data on how many divisions they are members of, paying regular dues, and if they are not members of some divisions, is the privilege of interacting across divisions a privilege reserved only for those in power roles - and if yes, should we be rewriting our leadership textbooks and rejecting papers focusing on new leadership discourse from the Academy of Management journal, review, and perspectives?    

     

    warmly,

  • 32.  [ENTREP] important-- ENTREP Listserv will be changing soon (please read)

    Posted 11-29-2017 12:25

    Greetings, Friends and Colleagues:

     

    As an accounting professor with an entrepreneurial addiction and a habit for educational innovation, I have enjoyed my membership on this listserv over the past years. I have made several new "virtual" friends, and would be sad to say goodbye. I am already a member of the American Accounting Association; I'm not sure if I'd become an official "Division" member.

     

    Can I do without the "fix" I currently get by reading provocative, informative, and sometimes controversial posts by current members? Let's see where the river flows.

     

    All my best,

    Hi, All --

     

    I, too, believe that a primary benefit of the listserv has been its accessibility to Division members and non-members alike.  I have often recommended the listserv as a "preview" to grad students who are debating whether to get involved with the Division.  So I hope that the AoM leadership will rethink the new policies.

     

    But if good sense doesn't prevail at the Academy level, I hope that we can implement some sort of workaround within the Division, as Lou suggests.  Could we, for example, appoint a "pass through" moderator who would post messages on behalf of non-members and who would maintain a forwarding list for Daily Digests and push notifications?  I imagine that someone with the right e-mail skills could automate both these tasks via some combination of flags and filters.

     

    Best,

    Mark

    Dear colleagues,

     

    As a naive non-member of the entrepreneurship division, since the AOM includes two divisional memberships as part of the basic fee, being a professor of strategy and international management, who conducts significant inter-disciplinary research, I have always checked strategy and international management for my divisional memberships.    That is with a belief and hope that just as I am contributing to the overall academy, members of the entrepreneurship division who may have cross-walking interests, will appreciate my membership in the academy, as opposed to rejecting my academy membership because of my affiliation with strategy and international management.

     

    With this, if I may ask a dumb question - would the academy leaders be willing to share transparency index data on how many divisions they are members of, paying regular dues, and if they are not members of some divisions, is the privilege of interacting across divisions a privilege reserved only for those in power roles - and if yes, should we be rewriting our leadership textbooks and rejecting papers focusing on new leadership discourse from the Academy of Management journal, review, and perspectives?    

     

    warmly,

    Thank you John, Ted and Jeff,

    As a (relatively) recent member of AoM and the ENTREP Division, I wanted to throw in my support of your sentiments. There is a lot of interesting interaction in this Division and its listserve, and I don't see any good reason why that same broad level of interaction can't continue through this new Connect@AOM implementation. What the AoM administration may or may not understand is that the high level of accessibility and interaction that our listserve provides IS THE VALUE that we receive from this member benefit. Jeff, please share our sentiments with your colleagues at AoM and make sure they understand that by stripping out the diverse interaction we receive from this member benefit, they will be reducing the level of perceived value we receive from our participation and membership.

    Kind regards,

    Amy

    I have just learned that the Entrep@aomlists.aom.org is going to transform to the Connect platform next month.     The Entrepreneurship Listserve was created in the 1990s with no barriers to membership.  To join, all you had to have was an interest in Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurship scholarship, or Entrepreneurship education.   That was an intentional strategy that I believe helped to introduce many scholars to the Academy of Management and to our Division.   I believe that it was also a successful idea and contributed to the success of our Division recruiting efforts.

     

    Quite frankly, I am sorry to see the change of the list into a space where only members of the Division will have full participation rights.    I know that times change and many marketing gurus believe that  such a 'new' philosophy of exclusivity will add perceived value to membership but I really do not believe this.    

     

    Rather, I believe that it will shut out many of the past participants in fruitful discussions,  scholars from different fields of study where Entrepreneurship is needed and relevant (e.g. the creative arts community), from other levels of academia and Ent Support (community colleges,  SBA and SBDC communities, etc.) and from actual participation by ENTREPRENEURS who have an interest in Entrep. Education and Theory.  

     

    Old dogs often bemoan the passing of something that they helped to create and I am wary of falling into that stereotype, BUT I want everyone to pause and think.  Do we really want to create barriers to participating in our exciting community?

     

    I became an active member of our Division as a Ph.D. Student predominately because the Division was so welcoming to anyone with an interest in Entrepreneurship.   It did not matter what school you taught at, where your degrees were from or who you worked with.    It did not matter whether you published in top tier journals, or other outlets, or even had much of a scholarship record at all or whether you had a recognized "name."   You were welcomed into the tribe and mentored.  Senior scholars visited with you with real interest and encouraged what we might now recognize as the entrepreneurial mindset -- hey, what are YOU interested in?  Wow, that fascinating!  Lets do something together, or here is who you should talk to....   I want to see that tradition continue:)

     

    The Connect Platform is definitely a value added technology compared to the decades old listserve tech but why can't it be an OPEN community which welcomes all who are interested in participating and where the advantages of AOM and Division membership can be DEMONSTRATED through engagement?   This philosophy served the Division well for over 20 years.    Please consider continuing that strategy.

    Hi all,

    We write to share the exciting news that the ENTREP Listserv will be changing soon. It is scheduled to be upgraded to Connect@AOM next month, December 2017.

    Connect@AOM is a new online collaborative tool, designed exclusively for AOM members. This platform dramatically improves the networking tools available to ENT Division members and helps us connect and collaborate with each other. We hope you will find it to be a place where you can ask for advice, share your experiences, and build relationships.

    Here is what you need to do now to get ready:

    1. Make sure you have you preferred/current email listed on your profile with AOM.  Go to Aom.Org, sign in and you can check your profile by clicking "My Profile" in the box in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. Please update your profile and make sure we have your current and correct email address listed.

    2. Make sure you are a member of the division.  While any member of AOM can view the content of the our Community, only ENT Division members will be able to post to the discussions. So, put differently, Connect@AOM is a member benefit. While non-members may create an account and view Connect@AOM activity, the privilege of posting to and participating in the community is restricted to ENT Division members. Additionally, only ENT community members will be eligible to receive Daily Digest or other push notifications about activity that occurs in the ENT community.

    We will be sharing more information about this transition over the next two weeks. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email Lou Marino who is our Communications Committee Chair at lmarino@cba.ua.edu.

    Posted 11-30-2017 02:53

    My 2 cents as former Division Chair:

     

    This "new online collaborative tool" (AoM connect/Connect@AoM) appears to be not quite so new but an attempt to relaunch what was originally introduced in 2010/2011 (the oldest emails I can recover which mention it are from Jan 2011) and (as far as I can tell) flopped massively because no-one found and real need for it. Our then secretary made brave and dutiful attempts to communicate through it but soon gave up as it served no real purpose alongside listserv, email, and other collaborative/communication tools already at our disposal – and which do not divide our collaborative partners/audience into AoM members vs. non-members.
