Entrepreneurship (ENT)

The Entrepreneurship Division welcomes researchers, teachers, Ph.D. students, consultants, entrepreneurs and anyone else who shares the mission of growing entrepreneurship scholarship. ENT meets once a year at the AOM Annual Meeting with a number of exciting pre-conference workshops, an extensive conference program that focuses on the latest entrepreneurship research, and a number of social activities aimed at fostering networking and exchange of ideas. ENT also has an annual meeting in mid-February that focuses on governance issues for the Division.

Anyone interested in becoming involved to assist in improving the Division is welcome to attend. Our website highlights a number of conferences, research awards, teaching innovations, Ph.D. opportunities and other activities that help to foster a sense of community as we work together to grow entrepreneurship scholars.
