OMT Cafe: Entrepreneurship and New Venture Creation
When: Sunday, 6 Aug, 11.00am-11.45am
Where: Cafe Lucia 57 Forsyth St. NW, Atlanta, GA 30303
Our OMT café will explore current debates at the intersection of entrepreneurship research and organization theory. We want to bring together scholars with an interest in these topics to discuss interesting trends, opportunities for research, and promising methods.
Entrepreneurs face daunting challenges that are at the heart of organization theory. They set up, grow, and defend their ventures despite lacking track records and often facing established competitors. Their entrepreneurial challenges include managing social evaluations (e.g., identity, legitimacy, status, reputation), navigating institutions (e.g., practices, fields), acquiring resources (e.g., funding, networks, employees), learning, and undertaking organizational change.
We look forward to seeing many of you in Atlanta!
