Call for PDW Participants:
Community-Based Organizing and Entrepreneurship to Address Grand Challenges
Date/Time/Location: August 4, 2023, 11:45am-1:45pm, Boston Hynes Convention Center in 204
We are excited to invite you to join a Professional Development Workshop focused on community-based organizing and entrepreneurship to address grand challenges sponsored by the Entrepreneurship (ENT), Social Issues in Management (SIM), and Organization and Management Theory (OMT) divisions. While research on community-based phenomena is growing, there remains a need to further explore the practices and processes of community-based organizing, including how communities shape entrepreneurial efforts and how community-based enterprises (CBEs) work in and with communities to address challenges and build local resiliency. This PDW aims to convene junior and senior scholars in this field of research to discuss these ideas and explore future research pathways.
This PDW is open to all AOM attendees but we ask that you complete this short survey to indicate your interest in this session: https://forms.gle/fQMD12XWKNcRLUfJ9
