  • Call for Nominations: Secretary Position, ENT Division

    (posted on behalf of @Vishal Gupta)

    The Entrepreneurship (ENT) Division of the Academy of Management (AOM) is seeking nominations (including self-nominations) for the Secretary position. This position is appointed by the ENT Division Chair, with approval from the other officers and input from the current Treasurer. This role begins after the 2025 AOM Annual Conference and runs for a three-year term.

    Why This Role Matters

    The Secretary is a key member of the Division's leadership team, providing crucial administrative support to ensure the Division's effectiveness. She/he plays a fundamental role in maintaining the institutional memory of the ENT Division. By documenting the Division's key discussions and decisions, and by tracking progress toward the Division's five-year strategic goals, the Secretary helps ensure that current and future leadership teams have access to a well-documented history of strategic initiatives and governance decisions.

    How to Apply

    Interested volunteers should submit a brief (i.e., < 500 words) statement of interest that answers the following questions:

    a) Why are you interested in the Secretary position for the ENT Division?

    b) What are your qualifications and relevant experience for the position (what skills can you bring and contribute to the ENT Division;

    c) in what ways have you previously served the AOM or ENT Division, for example, through reviewing and/or other ENT Division or AoM service activities)?

    Applications are due by March 29, 2025, and should be emailed to the ENT Division Chair-Elect, Vishal Gupta (vkgupta@ua.edu). Please include "Secretary" in the subject line of the email.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Keep accurate minutes of all Division and Executive Committee meetings and make them available to the leadership and membership as needed.
    • Maintain the official records of the Division, including the membership roll, in coordination with other officers.
    • Soliciting and collecting Committee reports for Executive Committee meetings.
    • Soliciting recommendations for updates to the Division policy manual and constitution.
    • Ensure continuity of governance by documenting key discussions, decisions, and initiatives.
    • Support the Division's leadership in tracking progress toward five-year strategic goals and preparing for the five-year review.
    • Perform other duties as agreed upon with the Division Chair or as provided in the Constitution.

    Who Should Apply?

    The ideal candidate for the Secretary position is someone who is:

    • Highly organized: Able to manage records and track ongoing initiatives.
    • Detail-oriented: Capable of taking comprehensive yet concise notes.
    • A strong listener: Able to capture key takeaways and highlight essential points for leadership.
    • Focused, dedicated, and timely: Willing to commit conscientious time and effort to Division administration.
    • Proficient in written communication: Skilled in documenting discussions clearly and accurately.

    This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to the ENT Division's leadership and shape its future. We encourage all qualified members to consider applying or nominating a colleague who would be a great fit.

    For more information about the position, please feel free to contact the current Secretary, @Diane Sullivan (dsullivan1@udayton.edu).

    We look forward to your nominations!

  • 2025 Division Scholarly Program: Call for Submissions

    (posted on behalf of @Christina Theodoraki, Program Chair)

    The Entrepreneurship Division now invites paper and symposium proposals for the 2025 Academy of Management Annual Meeting, 25-29 July 2025, in Copenhagen (Denmark). Proposals should align with the Entrepreneurship Division's scope, which includes entrepreneurial ecosystems, self-employment, new venture creation, financing, small business management, family business, innovation, inclusiveness, firm growth, and sustainability. Broader concepts related to identifying, analyzing, and exploiting entrepreneurial opportunities are also welcome. Additionally, proposals may explore novelty, creativity, and innovation in individuals, organizations, and environments, as well as decision-making under uncertainty in various entrepreneurial contexts.
     
    This year's conference is not theme-specific, allowing for a broad rethinking of research in entrepreneurship. The future of organizations and societies remains a central concern for scholars and managers, particularly in the face of political and economic instabilities, inequality, technological disruption, environmental and societal challenges, and other global issues. The 2025 theme emphasizes the critical role of entrepreneurship in shaping effective policymaking (at macro, meso, and micro levels), which is essential for driving innovation and sustainable growth in organizations and societies.
     
    As members of the Entrepreneurship Division, we are uniquely positioned to produce rigorous, practical research that highlights the importance of entrepreneurship in the policymaking process. Our work can help entrepreneurs, managers, policymakers, and stakeholders collaboratively address global challenges more effectively. We encourage division members to contribute to this important conversation, though proposals on any entrepreneurship-related topic are welcome.
     
    Paper and symposium proposals are due Tuesday, 7 January 2025 at 17:00 (5 pm) EST (UTC-5 / GMT-5). The 2025 AOM Annual Meeting Submission Center will be available in the beginning of December 2024. Early submissions are encouraged.
     
    Innovation: 
    Poster submissions: As an innovation this year, we will introduce poster sessions as a new feature! These sessions will take place in high-visibility sessions, offering an interactive and visually engaging platform for sharing your research and ideas. It's a fantastic opportunity to network with fellow attendees and presenters at AOM, fostering collaborations. Further information on the Poster Submission Guidelines and Rules can be found at the AOM Call for Submissions. 
     
    Thank you: 
    We continue to thank all of our members who have submitted, reviewed and volunteered in this and previous years. You have helped make the ENT division collegiate, inclusive, and welcoming and a special place to be for all.
     
    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 2024.
     
    Division Awards:
    The Entrepreneurship Division honors outstanding contributions with several best paper and best dissertation awards as part of the meeting program.
     
    Submission Process:
    All submissions must be made through the AOM submission website. Please review all submission process, submission guidelines and formatting instructions, and policies and ethics carefully before submitting. If any guidelines or formatting instructions are not met, the submission cannot be sent for review. 
     
    Please direct any questions to Christina Theodoraki
     
    See you in Copenhagen! #AOM2025
