Session Description
The goal of this PDW is to foster high-quality, multidisciplinary
entrepreneurship research on the informal economy. To help attain this
objective, several Field Editors from the Journal of Business Venturing
(JBV) will work with scholarsespecially junior oneswhose papers or
research proposals are accepted for discussion at the session.
Prior to the workshop, registrants will submit their papers or proposals to
the PDW organizers. These pieces will be screened for quality and fit, and
then sorted into related groups. At the session, registrants will be
assigned to one of six tables based on the paper groupings. One pair of
co-lead JBV Field Editors will also be assigned to a table. After a brief
introduction about the sessions goals and format, the co-leads will discuss
one exemplary entrepreneurship paper relevant to the groups area then
provide formal comments on each paper or proposal at the assigned table. At
the end of the session, the co-leads will summarize their groups key
learning points. Wrap-up remarks on the informal economy and
entrepreneurship will then be offered by the sessions organizers.
Submission Instructions
In order to ensure meaningful exchange and in-depth feedback on research, we
will cap registration at 24 submissions (2 per commentator). As such,
pre-registration is required for this workshop. In the case of co-authored
submissions, we ask that only one of the authors registers and attends so
that authors of other papers have an opportunity to join us.
To pre-register, please contact Jennifer and Dev Jennings at
jennifer.jennings@ualberta.ca and
dev.jennings@ualberta.ca to obtain the
approval code. Then use that code to register online at
https://secure.aomonline.org/PDWReg.
Submitted papers or research proposals for consideration should be no more
than 50 pages in length double-spaced (all inclusive). We encourage
participants not to submit papers that are already under review at academic
journals.
Final copies must be submitted by Sun July 22 in order for the organizers to
have adequate time to pre-screen the papers and forward them to the
appropriate commentator.
Looking forward to seeing you at JBVs Informal Economy PDW!
