**Apologies for cross listing.**
Please join us for a stimulating and interactive PDW on an important process that all new ventures face: resource mobilization. A panel of highly accomplished and experienced scholars will reflect on and discuss future research opportunities for this exciting literature. Our PDW will also include roundtables where attendees can interact with our panelists (and each other) to discuss research ideas and projects.
This PDW should benefit scholars broadly interested in research on new ventures (for-profit, non-profit; various business models, industries, and institutional environments) from differing theoretical perspectives (strategy, entrepreneurship, organizational theory, organizational behavior) and methodological approaches (e.g., deductive hypothesis testing using large-sample archival data or lab experiments, inductive theory building using interviews and observations). Attendance is open for all and pre-registration is not required. See details below:

Abstract:
To exploit opportunities and become successful, new ventures must mobilize several critical resources such as financial, human, and social capital. Research on new venture resource mobilization has gained increasing interest among strategy scholars, as it speaks to fundamental themes of firm performance and heterogeneity. The topic has also appealed to scholars across entrepreneurship, organizational theory, and organizational behavior. While the literature has made progress in understanding how entrepreneurs and new ventures gain crucial resources, several recent papers also highlight existing limitations and unexplored questions that hamper its progress (e.g., Clough et al., 2019; Dushnitsky & Matusik, 2019; Hallen et al., 2020).
In this workshop, we provide an interactive forum to address current limitations and collectively find ways to advance the literature. To facilitate this aim, we bring together a panel of thought leaders with a track record of publishing research on new venture resource mobilization from diverse theoretical backgrounds, contexts, and methodologies. Through a panel session, audience Q&A, and intimate breakout roundtables, this PDW seeks to stimulate new research directions while promoting a community of scholars interested in this exciting domain.
For questions, please send an email to any one of our co-organizers.
We hope to see you there!
