Symposium Overview
This Symposium explores entrepreneurial pivoting from key theoretical and methodological perspectives. Pivoting is a critical activity that many new ventures undertake but often ends in failure.
Bringing together leading scholars, this Symposium explores (1) the triggers of pivoting, (2) core organizational pivoting processes that span levels of analysis (identity, legitimacy, and ecosystem management), and (3) the process methods that enable scholars to study pivoting in a fine-grained, longitudinal manner.
The session will start with an introduction to pivoting research, and then feature insights from each of the panelists, followed by an integrative Q&A discussion session with the audience.
The Symposium intends to inspire lively intellectual discussion and equip scholars to advance the nascent research on the important but understudied phenomenon of entrepreneurial pivoting.
