| Rensselaer’s Lally School To Host Entrepreneurship Symposium Oct. 2 and 3
The effects of social networks on entrepreneurship and innovation in business will be examined at an upcoming symposium hosted by the Severino Center for Technological Entrepreneurship in Rensselaer’s Lally School.
The Oct. 2 and 3 event, titled “The Network Structure of Entrepreneurship and Innovation,” will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in room 4050 of Rensselaer’s Low Center for Industrial Innovation. The symposium is free and open to the public.
“Over the past few decades, researchers have learned that the creation and maintenance of an entrepreneurial network is crucial to the success of a firm,” said Nicholas Young, assistant professor of management and sociology in the Lally School and organizer of the event. “Since entrepreneurship and innovation are such vital activities in today’s global economy, it is important to understand how such networks shape innovation within the entrepreneurial context. The discussions at the symposium will help shed light on how and why networks are a critical component of innovation and entrepreneurship.”
Experts and top researchers in the areas of entrepreneurship, technology, new venture creation, and radical innovation are scheduled to present papers at the event. The social structure of innovation, urban entrepreneurship, learning strategies in technology-based alliance networks, and venture capital and production networks are just some of the topics scheduled to be discussed during the two-day gathering
