(posted on behalf of @Suzana Varga ) Dear fellow ENT PhD candidates around the world, my name is Suzana Varga, and I am a PhD candidate in my final year at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. It is marvelous to be part of such a diverse and warm community as the ENT division, and it is with immense pleasure and great pride that I have the honor to be this year’s PhD representative at the global scale. Some of you may remember my name from an earlier studENT blog post that my dear friend and colleague, Dr. Sai Kalvapalle, and I wrote together about mental health and well-being in academia. And YES, Sai has successfully ...

(posted on behalf of @Marcos Hashimoto , Managing Director, Turner School of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Bradley University, Peoria, IL) I am very grateful for the opportunity to share my story here. I hope these words can inspire others to find their mission and purpose. My first startup: I always proudly tell my students the story my first entrepreneurial endeavor to show them that failure is part of the entrepreneur’s journey. In 1991 I was invited by a very close friend of mine to open a fashion boutique in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It was a side hustle as none of us were ready to quit jobs yet. I was 28, but still very naïve and ...

(posted on behalf of @Paul Sanchez Ruiz ) This is around my 5th academic year, following nearly 10 years in business. During my life's journey, I have successfully launched three startups, worked for the Environmental Protection Agency for the Federal Government in Mexico, been an Assistant Professor at multiple Universities, and been awarded for best dissertation in 2018 and 2019 at Oklahoma State University. I have obtained my MBA in Finance, my Master's in Entrepreneurship, and obtained my Ph.D. in Entrepreneurship. As a new assistant professor at Ivy College of Business, I am glad to share my story of how one moment can impact your life. ...

(posted on behalf of @Seham Ghalwash ) Jeff York’s article, titled " Exploring Environmental Entrepreneurship: Identity Coupling, Venture Goals, and Stakeholder Incentives ," delves into the world of sustainable entrepreneurship, and its significance lies in its contributions to two key areas of research. At the heart of this narrative, the paper uncovers the world of sustainable entrepreneurship, investigating why some thrive while others stumble in environmental entrepreneurship. It classifies these eco-entrepreneurs into two distinct categories. The first group is propelled by business acumen, accommodating diverse stakeholders regardless of their ...

Academia backstage: Conversations on community, meaning, and the hard parts of academic life (posted on behalf of @Sai Kalvapalle ) In planning my final post in this role (sad face), and as I slowly transition out of being a PhD student looking for a job (happy face), I have been reflecting a lot. These reflections were particularly punctuated by recent conversations around integrity in academic work, and what we owe to science, society, and what is perhaps the most central but least discussed element in all of this – community. My community has helped me write my papers, teach my courses, navigate the job market, overcome imposter syndrome, ...

Let’s talk about mental health and well-being in academia! (posted on behalf of @Sai Kalvapalle and @Suzana Varga ) Hi! For this blog post, I have the distinct privilege to be joined by Suzana Varga, a fellow PhD Candidate and friend who studies high growth firms and business scaling. We both share a background in psychology and a deep interest in human behavior and relationships. And as innately curious people, we often muse about how we can make our work life a little bit better than the way we found it. Suzana and I co-wrote this blog post with three ambitions: 1) to sustain conversation around mental health in academia, 2) to highlight ...

Why do scholars need to focus on the social impact of entrepreneurship apart from social entrepreneurship? (posted on behalf of @Seham Ghalwash Entrepreneurship should solve societal problems by bringing positive externalities that have societal implications. Accordingly, entrepreneurship creates both social and economic value. Indeed, entrepreneurship literature has provided an in-depth understanding of entrepreneurship and its contribution to economic growth across developed and developing countries. Yet, the literature overlooks how commercial entrepreneurship as a social multiplier solves societal challenges and still leverages unique opportunities ...

Entrepreneurship-as-Practice (posted on behalf of @Aviel Cogan and @Tobias Pret ) Whereas strategy-as-practice has become an important alternative to the dominant institutional and resource-based views of strategy research, Entrepreneurship-as-Practice (EaP) has not received adequate attention to date, especially from top tier entrepreneurship journals. As a result, there are enduring gaps in our understanding of the relational and processual nature of entrepreneurial activities. For example, while entrepreneurial resourcing has been shown to have a significant impact on the abilities of entrepreneurs to successfully develop their ventures, little ...

Reviewer 2 Who? Academic Reviewing as a Doctoral Student (posted on behalf of @Sai Kalvapalle ) It’s mid-January as I write this, which means a lot of us doctoral students are coming up for air after a hectic conference submission period. What better way to recover from the holiday season than to push those manuscripts forward, and almost earn a separate doctorate in word count manipulation? There is a rule of thumb in (management) research now that I gathered at the last AOM ENT Doctoral Consortium: editors implore that for every manuscript you submit, you should review 3 manuscripts (because at least 3 others review your work). After all, peer ...

Here we have Aldona Kapacinskaite, Assistant Professor at the Department of Management and Technology at Bocconi University. Aldona also won the 2022 TIM Division Best Dissertation Award.

What do you think is your most exciting contribution to academia? I hope one of my contributions to academia will be to enhance our understanding of secrecy and trade secrets. While we have ...

Navigating a PhD in Entrepreneurship (post on behalf of @Sai Kalvapalle , ENT Division PhD representative) Hello readers! My name is Sai Kalvapalle, and I am the new ENT division PhD representative, which puts me in the amazing position of writing bi-monthly blog posts for what I hope is a captive audience. With these blog posts, I aim to provide a student perspective into topics of interest for the entrepreneurship community. The beauty of such a community, I find, is how diverse, cross-disciplinary, and strong the scholarship is, both theoretically and empirically. Plus, we have the added advantage of being inspired everyday by how entrepreneurs ...

Why do Barefoot Entrepreneurs Stay Poor? (posted on behalf of @Tobias Pret and @Aviel Cogan) Entrepreneurship has long been recognized as a route out of poverty and a means to challenge the status quo. However, within the global south, research has shown that barefoot entrepreneurs, who are marginalized and socially excluded, often remain impoverished despite their successful efforts to pursue entrepreneurial activities and change institutions. While prior studies have explored the creative approaches that such individuals adopt to overcome potential barriers, little is known about the forces and actors that work to prevent barefoot entrepreneurs ...
