Join us at the AOM 2025 in Copenhagen for our presenter symposium "Inclusive Futures: Bridging Disability, Entrepreneurship and Organizational Research" (20809)!
Despite representing over a billion people worldwide, individuals with disabilities remain largely invisible in research and policy. A particularly persistent form of discrimination occurs in work life, spanning both organizational inclusion and entrepreneurship. In our presenter symposium, we bring together prominent scholars from the fields of ENT and DEI to spotlight these challenges, share insights, and foster cross-disciplinary solutions.
Presenters:
Rene Bakker (Erasmus University Rotterdam) - Entrepreneurs with Disabilities: Disclosure, Stigma and Prior Venture Dynamics in Crowdfunding Campaigns
Maija Renko (Aalto University) - The role of Entrepreneur Support Organizations (ESOs) in Bridging Disability and Entrepreneurship
Silvia Stroe & Charlotta Sirén (University of St. Gallen) - Entrepreneurs with Permanent vs. Temporary Disabilities: An Eye-Tracking Study on Discrimination in Investment Decision-Making
Nicola Glumann (University of St.Gallen) - How Mentoring Students with Disabilities Shapes Leaders' Inclusivity at Work
