PhD Seminar - Strategic Entrepreneurship: Alliances, Mergers and Networks
Strategic entrepreneurship, as an area of research, borrows from, and
integrates entrepreneurial and strategic theoretical perspectives in an
attempt to explain competitive advantage and entrepreneurial activity.
Discovering and exploiting opportunities is the cornerstone of the
entrepreneurial challenge of (emerging) organisations, while strategic
management is about advantage seeking actions of organisations. The
combination of these two perspectives and areas of research generates
interesting new theoretical vistas and research questions for examining
central organisational phenomena, such as alliances, mergers and
innovation networks.
During an intensive course, advanced theories, insights and methods on the
recent developments and key building blocks of strategic entrepreneurship
are discussed. International faculty will discuss recent contributions to
this domain from the (institutional) entrepreneurship and strategy field
and from work on alliances, mergers and networks in order to gain
knowledge about the recent advances, the research challenges and future
research agenda. International faculty will further help in developing,
discussing and providing feedback on papers under development. In order to
participate, candidates should provide a two page research idea of a paper
under development by the application deadline.
