Short track description
 
By proposing this topic we aim at deepening our understanding of opportunities and challenges faced by hybrid organizations that pursue a social mission through business ventures and therefore recombine largely divergent goals and governance models. In particular, this topic encourages research that examines how hybrid organizations can be loci of managerial and organizational creativity and innovation and introduce more sustainable solutions to deep-seated societal problems.
We also welcome papers that investigate how hybrid organizations deal with the managerial, governance and accounting challenges that may emerge while walking the fine line between achieving social impact and competing in complex, fast changing markets.
