Thomas Gegenhuber
Tuesday, 18 May 2021 | 1 pm | Online

Digital entrepreneurship is fundamentally interlinked with society. In this first lunch talk we will explore how – and what this means for entrepreneurship research and practice. Katharina Hölzle will talk about alternative outlets and outreach: “The changing landscape of innovation research impact – the what, the why, the how, the where.” Franziska Günzel-Jensen places the focus on academics themselves and will speak about: “Kindness in academia as a catalyst for impact scholars.” Finally, Thomas Gegenhuber will talk about practical and methodological implications of studying new forms of organizing under the title „New Forms of Organizing as Sites for Entrepreneurship & Innovation Research.”
