We are excited to organize a PDW on Health, Wellbeing, and Entrepreneurship to be held at the 2025 Academy of Management Annual Meeting in Copenhagen. This workshop will bring together scholars from around the globe to explore the intersection of health, wellbeing, and entrepreneurial activities.
This PDW seeks to strengthen the community of researchers interested in entrepreneurs' mental health, illbeing, and well-being, and to create new connections. This workshop is designed for academics specializing in entrepreneurship, management, and related fields who are interested in advancing research on the relationship between entrepreneurship and health/wellbeing. Whether you're conducting research on the impact of entrepreneurial activities on physical and mental health, exploring resilience and stress management in entrepreneurs, or investigating the role of wellbeing in entrepreneurial success, we invite you to join what has been an engaging and thought-provoking session the past several years.
