1st JIBS Workshop on 'External Enablement of Entrepreneurship'

An emerging stream of research focuses on how environmental changes, so-called external enablers, trigger, shape or enhance entrepreneurial activities. The first JIBS workshop on ‘External Enablement of Entrepreneurship’ provides a unique platform for researchers to engage in comprehensive discussion and knowledge sharing about the ‘external enabler’ construct and framework. The workshop brings together ‘external enabler’ experts and scholars interested in applying the framework to provide feedback on current research projects and learn how to position and develop research on external enablers. In addition, participants will have the chance to pitch early-stage research ideas and receive feedback on their current projects. The workshop contributes to Jönköping International Business School’s profile on ‘entrepreneurship in context’ and is sponsored by the Media, Management and Transformation Centre (MMTC) and the school
