Dear fellow MSR listserve colleagues,
I am in the midst of developing a symposium proposal that examines the intersection of spirituality/religion and entrepreneurship. The topic of spiritual/religious influences on entrepreneurship -- and vice-versa -- is garnering increased interest among management scholars (e.g., Jackson & Konz, 2006; King-Kauanui et al, 2008; Corner & Pavlovich, 2009), particularly regarding how an entrepreneur's heightened human consciousness affects his/her various entrepreneurial activities. I am interested in proposing a forum through which current work in this area (broadly defined) can be shared.
If you are conducting research (conceptual, theoretical, or empirical) that contextualizes spirituality/religion and entrepreneurship, I cordially invite you to partner with me and others in contributing to this symposium proposal. Research that highlights a relationship between entrepreneurship and spirituality/religion at any level of analysis (individual, organizational, institutional, or societal) will be welcomed.
Please send me an e-mail message (BlocksonL@cofc.edu) with a description of your research by Wednesday, November 30. I will sort through the descriptions and determine which symposium format (presenter or panel) will serve our purpose better. If enough interest is generated, I may consider submitting a PDW and/or caucus proposal that will provide additional venues through which to share our knowledge. As you may know, the symposium submission deadline is January 10, 2012.
Thanks for your support.
All the best,
Laquita Blockson
