    How do entrepreneurs survive when laws, institutions, and markets actively exclude them?

    Join us on 14 May 2026 for our webinar on "Legitimacy, Political Action, and Informal Entrepreneurs' Survival".

    🎙️ Dr. Arielle Newman (Whitman School of Management, Syracuse University) will examine how informal entrepreneurs construct, contest, and leverage legitimacy-and how political action enables survival in legally ambiguous and extra-legal contexts.
