Academy of Management Annual Meeting
This PDW seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialogue among scholars exploring the transformative power of language in entrepreneurship and innovation research. The workshop will focus on the structural properties of language and the expectations of different audiences to advance our understanding of how language can help entrepreneurs rally key audiences’ support around their novel ideas, products, or projects. In the first half of the PDW, we have put together five panelists with diverse backgrounds, genders, nationalities, and research focus who have conducted theoretical and/or empirical work on how language can shape understanding and perception, thereby influencing entrepreneurial success. After the Q&A session, in the second half of the PDW, we provide registered participants with the opportunity to gain high-quality feedback from the organizers and panelists. In this way, the participants will have the opportunity to address their questions about specific issues encountered when writing/publishing their papers, exchange novel theoretical and methodological ideas, and start novel conversations that go beyond the current assumptions in the literature.
