The @AOM_TIM division & AMJ journal are organizing a Virtual Research Workshop on 28th Feb, aimed at early-career researchers interested in innovation & technology management. Application deadline: 2/2/24 ➡️ https://t.co/8vnaMtX36x @MarcBGruber @_Susanne_Beck_ @vale_tartari

How and why do doctors become entrepreneurs? Check out our (Ha Hoang) study, now published open access. We studied the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme. https://t.co/MdHtIdwgIp

We are on with the 4th Symposium on #Corporate, #Digital & #Wicked #Acceleration at @ImperialBiz powered by @wickedaccel Centre Digital Transformation @PerkmannM @myrfloresLAA @cltucci @eautio #ImpCorpAccel

Great turn-out at the @AOM_TIM Division + @OrganizationSci workshop yesterday. We offered this workshop to provide an opportunity for early-career technology scholars to get feedback on their work. https://t.co/3ymSNlquER

The @AOM_TIM Research Committee and @OrganizationSci. are organizing a Virtual Research Workshop aimed at early-career researchers engaged in TIM-related studies. Application deadline: 9/21/2023. More info ➡️ https://t.co/RGIHlHSLNz

Call for participants: AOM TIM Division and Organization Science online Research Workshop 21 Sep If you are junior faculty and would like comments on your paper by a senior mentor, sign up to our forthcoming workshop

Thanks @crischicho for organizing and leading this panel symposium, and thanks to my co-panelists: @PerkmannM, @fgiones, @SWS53345553, for sharing new insights. And of course, big thanks go to the attendees who engaged so actively in the discussion!

At @egosnet this week, a vibrant sub-theme on #Entrepreneurship within organizations in Cagliari (Sardinia), @PerkmannM. https://t.co/qNbtTtwx67

I sudtirolesi tornano a casa dopo un magnifico #EGOS2023 @johannamair @PerkmannM ❤️⛰️⛰️⛰️

Should taxpayers subsidise university spinoff companies? The answer is "yes" for deeptech and biotech companies, but possibly "no" for digital companies. Check out our Research Policy article, just out: https://t.co/l42Yo22mOh. We study University of Californa spinoffs.

Why are multidisciplinary scientists penalized in contests that are critical for their careers? | Riccardo Fini, @julien_jourdan of @HECParis, @PerkmannM of @ImperialBiz @IBiande and @ToschiLaura https://t.co/julrGVln5l

The TIM division would like to ask you to take a few minutes and respond to our member survey. All division members have been sent a personalized link to their email inboxes. Please do take this opportunity to share your thoughts. #TIMcommunity

This focus on boundary maintenance may come at the expense of innovation and influx of fresh ideas - our prior work indeed suggests that multidisciplinary science often turns out to be more impactful ( https://t.co/9T9NWFKeFE).

But we suggest that in contests that are about admitting candidates to a closed entity, like a discipline, profession or even organization, evaluators discriminate in order to maintain the boundary (and identity) of the entity they are representing.

Our study provides an interesting insight on the "categorical imperative" (the theory that evaluators prefer candidates who fit neatly into a category, e.g. a discipline). Prior work suggested that "mis-fits" are penalized because evaluators are unsure about their quality.

We conducted this analysis using data on evaluation decisions for more than 40,000 academics who competed for habilitation in Italian academia. Our population covers all academic disciplines; decisions were made by panels of senior professors in around 180 disciplines.

This means multidisciplinary scientists face significant hurdles in evaluations critical for their career. Gatekeepers in scientific disciplines may perceive them as threats to the distinctiveness and knowledge domain of the discipline.

Being multidisciplinary can be costly. Discipline gatekeepers penalize multidisciplinary scientists in evaluation contests; in a newly published study, we find the highest performing individuals are penalized the most. https://t.co/tBTjs3Z97A, @OrganizationSci.

Multidisciplinary research is central to solving grand challenges and drives scientific breakthroughs. Yet scientists are punished for doing multidisciplinary work. New study finds highest performing multidisciplinary scientists are punished the most. https://t.co/9CZsFdZWSC

It was a pleasure working with @NelsonPhillips on creating @IOM_Journal as a new outlet for organization and strategy scholars studying innovation. Thank you also @tineadam and it's great to have Llewellyn Thomas on board! @AOM_TIM @AOM_TIM
