The Product of Your Ph.D. Is โ€˜Youโ€™: Reflections from The Job-Market Year (posted on behalf of Asif Kanan) Itโ€™s only now, amid my Job Market Year, that the saying "the product of your Ph.D. is you " has started to feel real. This phase is both challenging and rewarding, a time when years of growth are tested in the academic marketplace. If we think of the Ph.D. journey as a process of development, this year is when we put the โ€œfinished productโ€โ€”ourselvesโ€”out there. The Ph.D. Journey: A Product Development Phase We often hear the Ph.D. journey described as a marathon rather than a sprint, but itโ€™s more than just a long race. Itโ€™s a deeply layered ...

Research Highlightsโ€”Why some entrepreneurs choose to remain hidden? (posted on behalf of @Julian Riano ) We often assume (and teach) that entrepreneurs need maximum visibility. Struggling startups are encouraged to promote themselves widely because anyone could become a customer, investor, or stakeholder capable of catalyzing their business. So, why might some entrepreneurs choose to remain hidden? In their recent study, Robert Nason, Siddharth Vedula, Joel Bothello, Sophie Bacq, and Andrew Charman challenge our latent assumption by exploring entrepreneurs in the informal economy who deliberately hide rather than seek visibility. Their research, ...

Everything Iโ€™ve learned from doing a PhD (posted on behalf of @Suzana Varga ) As I am slowly approaching the closure of this academic chapter representing my doctoral studies, I have been catching myself in reflection on what the takeaways I have been forming from the past six years of my life are. Iโ€™ve spent those years deeply devoted to my academic path, I gave it quite literally everything, all of myself until the very last drop of my energy. What Iโ€™ve learned from doing a PhD moves way beyond the technicalities of conducting academic research. The purpose and ultimate expected outcome of obtaining a doctoral degree ...

(posted on behalf of @Julian Riano ) Those brave enough to answer this question might bring forward concepts such as social capital, social innovation, social objectives, value creation and market requirements. However, previous studies on social entrepreneurship (SE) have argued it is โ€˜an essentially contested conceptโ€™, โ€˜it lacks construct legitimacy and undefined theoretical content and boundariesโ€™, โ€˜the field has not been completely probed, and there exists some unexplored research themes for future researchโ€™, whilst others recognised โ€˜SE research transcends the foci on either detached structures or individuals, and that research in SE is often led ...

(posted on behalf of @Suzana Varga ) With the new academic hiring cycle around the corner, I thought it would be helpful to reflect on well-being-related themes that can become prominent in times when many of us may be reaching the pressure point known as the job market . While my job market experience was interrupted in the midst of it by an extended leave due to burnout, I do think that such an โ€œextreme caseโ€ offered opportunities for important lessons to derive. I hope to be able to depict these lessons in a way that can support my peersโ€™ job market journey and serve as a reminder about the importance of taking care of ourselves at all times, particularly ...

(posted on behalf of @Suzana Varga) For this monthโ€™s studENT blog, I wanted to capture and convey voices of the PhD community (instead of just mine). Hence, I have organized a couple of panel discussions where fellow PhD candidates from different parts of the world and varying institutions shared their views, challenges, and ways of coping with well-being related themes. The brave colleagues who positively responded to my invitation are all ambitious young scholars who are just about to wrap up their PhD trajectories. We had wonderfully refreshing open conversations where we discussed important questions around mental health and ways of coping with the ...

And YES, Sai has successfully ...

(posted on behalf of @Marcos Hashimoto , Managing Director, Turner School of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Bradley University, Peoria, IL) I am very grateful for the opportunity to share my story here. I hope these words can inspire others to find their mission and purpose. My first startup: I always proudly tell my students the story my first entrepreneurial endeavor to show them that failure is part of the entrepreneurโ€™s journey. In 1991 I was invited by a very close friend of mine to open a fashion boutique in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It was a side hustle as none of us were ready to quit jobs yet. I was 28, but still very naรฏve and ...

(posted on behalf of @Seham Ghalwash ) Jeff Yorkโ€™s article, titled " Exploring Environmental Entrepreneurship: Identity Coupling, Venture Goals, and Stakeholder Incentives ," delves into the world of sustainable entrepreneurship, and its significance lies in its contributions to two key areas of research. At the heart of this narrative, the paper uncovers the world of sustainable entrepreneurship, investigating why some thrive while others stumble in environmental entrepreneurship. It classifies these eco-entrepreneurs into two distinct categories. The first group is propelled by business acumen, accommodating diverse stakeholders regardless of their ...

Academia backstage: Conversations on community, meaning, and the hard parts of academic life (posted on behalf of @Sai Kalvapalle ) In planning my final post in this role (sad face), and as I slowly transition out of being a PhD student looking for a job (happy face), I have been reflecting a lot. These reflections were particularly punctuated by recent conversations around integrity in academic work, and what we owe to science, society, and what is perhaps the most central but least discussed element in all of this โ€“ community. My community has helped me write my papers, teach my courses, navigate the job market, overcome imposter syndrome, ...

Letโ€™s talk about mental health and well-being in academia! (posted on behalf of @Sai Kalvapalle and @Suzana Varga ) Hi! For this blog post, I have the distinct privilege to be joined by Suzana Varga, a fellow PhD Candidate and friend who studies high growth firms and business scaling. We both share a background in psychology and a deep interest in human behavior and relationships. And as innately curious people, we often muse about how we can make our work life a little bit better than the way we found it. Suzana and I co-wrote this blog post with three ambitions: 1) to sustain conversation around mental health in academia, 2) to highlight ...

Why do scholars need to focus on the social impact of entrepreneurship apart from social entrepreneurship? (posted on behalf of @Seham Ghalwash Entrepreneurship should solve societal problems by bringing positive externalities that have societal implications. Accordingly, entrepreneurship creates both social and economic value. Indeed, entrepreneurship literature has provided an in-depth understanding of entrepreneurship and its contribution to economic growth across developed and developing countries. Yet, the literature overlooks how commercial entrepreneurship as a social multiplier solves societal challenges and still leverages unique opportunities ...
