We are pleased to invite you to a timely Professional Development Workshop at AOM 2025 exploring entrepreneurial ecosystems through multiple levels of analysis-macro, meso, and micro. While ecosystems have become a prominent lens for understanding entrepreneurship and innovation, important gaps remain in connecting individual, organizational, and institutional dynamics.
This session brings together distinguished scholars to address cutting-edge questions in ecosystem research, including governance, diversity, and inclusion, microfoundations, and methodological innovation.
Organizers: Tanurima Dutta (Baruch College, The City University of New York), Scott Newbert (Baruch College, The City University of New York), Louis Marino (Kennesaw State University), Sonny Nguyen.

· Erik Stam – Evolution of the Ecosystem Research Program
· David Audretsch – Microfoundations of Ecosystems
· Christina Theodoraki – Ecosystem Methodology Across Levels
· Riccardo Fini – Diversity & Inclusion in Ecosystems (ETP Special Issue)
· Petra Moog – Values and Governance in Ecosystems
· Angelo Cavallo – Microfoundations & Journal of Business Venturing Special Issue
Session Format:
· Opening and welcome
· 8-minute research presentations from each panelist
· Moderated panel discussion and audience Q&A
· Two rounds of small-group mentoring roundtables with the speakers
Who Should Attend:
This PDW is ideal for PhD students, postdocs, and faculty in entrepreneurship, strategy, OT, and OB-especially those interested in how ecosystems shape and are shaped by institutions, organizational processes, and individual action.
No pre-registration is required.
We look forward to seeing you in Copenhagen!
