About the Conference:

Collaboration has always played a central role in entrepreneurship, as resource constrained entrepreneurs and young ventures strive to leverage resources that they do not necessarily own or control. Recent developments such as the explosion of accelerators, crowdsourcing and funding platforms, and emerging hybrid organizational forms present new opportunities related to how we conceptualize collaboration, and notions about firm boundaries and the value creation activities that take place within and across these boundaries.

At this conference, we aim to bring together scholars whose work has primarily focused on collaboration in its many forms to discuss applications of this work to the realm of entrepreneurship as it is evolving, as well as entrepreneurship scholars with research and interests in the role of collaboration in entrepreneurial decisions, dynamics and outcomes. The conference will include keynote panels and presentations from scholars such as Kathy Eisenhardt (Stanford University), Ben Gomes-Casseres (Brandeis), and Gillian Hadfield (Univ of Southern California Gould School of Law), as well as more traditional sessions.
