Entrepreneurial communication has long been a hot topic in management and entrepreneurship research, rich in theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches. From bodies of work like pitching and signaling, to temporal and audience considerations and the use of multimodal approaches, this symposium brings together leading scholars to debate the range of theories, their evidence base, and the methods that have been used to study them - and what hold the most promise for future research. You don't want to miss it!
Key questions we'll explore include: How do entrepreneurs balance 'selling' with creating actual value in their communication? Is there a quant method supremacy in this line of work? Do we need one unified theory of entrepreneurial communication and audience decision making/sensemaking?
Join us for what promises to be a lively debate!
