The field of entrepreneurship research has long been critiqued for its limited focus on what Dean Shepherd refers to as NON-WEIRD (non-Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) contexts. The AOM Entrepreneurship Division has taken this issue to heart and formed the Global Scholar Development Committee to address this challenge.

As part of this initiative, we are working to support scholars conducting entrepreneurship research in non-western contexts through local conferences, regional workshops, and virtual engagements. Here is a recording of a recent webinar together with Prof. Dean Shepherd.
