  • 2023 Division Scholarly Program: Call for Submissions

    (posted on behalf of @Rachida Justo, Program Chair)
     
    The Entrepreneurship Division now invites paper and symposium proposals for the 2023 Academy of Management Annual Meeting, August 4th-8th 2023, in Boston (Massachusetts). Proposals should fit the domain of the Entrepreneurship Division, which includes not only the phenomena of self-employment, new-venture formation and financing, small-business management, family business, innovation, and firm growth, but also more general ideas about the recognition, analysis, and exploitation of perceived entrepreneurial opportunities. Additionally, the nature of novelty, creativity, and innovativeness among individuals and organizations, and how people and groups exercise judgment under uncertainty and in a variety of enterprising contexts, will be considered.
     
    This year's conference theme is "Putting the Worker Front and Center”. Global shifts in the geo-political, environmental, demographic, and technological landscape are introducing unprecedented levels of uncertainty into labor markets and employment relations. The 2023 theme calls for our community to rebalance our attention, and pivot towards those at the very core of productive enterprise, namely the workers. As members of the Entrepreneurship Division, we are in a privileged position to produce both rigorous and practically relevant research that might allow entrepreneurs, managers, policy makers and labor leaders to more effectively and collaboratively meet the challenges presented. Thus, we invite members of the Entrepreneurship Division to offer further insight and join in the discussions around this critical theme, though proposals on any topic related to entrepreneurship are welcome.
     
    Paper and symposium proposals are due Tuesday, 10 January 2023 at 5:00 PM ET (NY Time). The 2023 AoM Annual Meeting Submission Center will be available at the www.aom.org website beginning of December 2022. Early submissions and expressions of interest are encouraged.

    Reviewers needed: We strongly encourage all who are submitting to the Entrepreneurship Division to support us by volunteering to review for the Entrepreneurship Division. The Division needs at least 1,500 reviewers. Your help in supporting our community with this task and helping its growth and development is greatly appreciated. The reviewer sign-up system opens early December 2022.
