Overview

A growing stream of research investigates the functioning of hybrid organizations that pursue social missions through business ventures. Such hybrids present themselves as market-based solutions to social strife such as poverty, unemployment, and environmental degradation while also engaging in commercial activities and business models. Theoretical interest in hybrid organizations has focused in large part on the potential of such organizations to generate organizational and social innovations through recombination, given their position at the nexus of traditional organizational fields of business and charity. In this professional development workshop, we will explore new directions for research on hybrid organizations and organizing, focusing on recent developments and opportunities for future research, both empirical and conceptual.

Format

We will start with a brief introduction by the organizers. Subsequently, our presenters will each share their perspectives, by discussing their own research and/or highlighting recent key advances in the field. We will then discuss in small groups about emerging research directions and opportunities.

Please note that, there is no pre-registration required to participate in this PDW.
