VSSER25 Session 5 Summary

#VSSER25 #session5🎙️🎉 Welcome to Revise and Resubmit — the podcast where research isn’t just read… it’s reimagined. Where theories stretch, ideas bend, and pages full of data turn into conversations that matter. 🧠📄💬Today, we’re tuning into the fifth session of the Virtual Summer School in Entrepreneurship Research 2025, and oh boy — this one’s stacked like a triple-shot espresso for your academic brain. ☕📚⚡Let’s rewind 50 years. Not to disco balls or dial-up internet, but to the roots of entrepreneurship research. 🕰️👨‍🏫 Kuratko and Covin (2025) take us on a sweeping journey from William Baumol’s “where’s the theory?” lament to today's dynamic and multidimensional view of the entrepreneurial mindset — complete with grit, hustle, and AI on the horizon. 🤖🔥💰 Then we hit the bank — not for a deposit, but to dissect discrimination.In Malmström et al.’s (2024) eye-opening meta-analysis, we learn that even in empowered societies, women entrepreneurs face more rejections and steeper interest rates. More power doesn’t always mean more fairness… or does it? 🤯💵💥 But don’t hit the brakes yet. Zunino et al. (2022) come racing in with a sharp insight: failure ≠ incompetence. Investors, it turns out, can be surprisingly rational — if there’s a credible skill cue in sight. 🏁🔍 Is being a “Forbes 30 under 30” enough to wash away a past startup crash? 🧨📈And finally, let’s go long — really long.Gentry et al. (2016) zoom in on family-influenced firms and discover a hidden playbook: strategic conservatism. More slack, less risk, longer vision. 👨‍👩‍👦💼🛡️Because when your name is on the company sign… you’re not just building for now — you’re building for your grandkids’ grandkids.So here’s your curious question of the day, friends:🤔✨ In a world where startups chase scale, platforms push speed, and disruption is king… is there still room for patience, tradition, and the quiet power of playing the long game?🙏 Big thanks to our incredible authors — Kuratko, Covin, Malmström, Burkhard, Sirén, Shepherd, Wincent, Zunino, Dushnitsky, van Praag, Gentry, Dibrell, and Kim — and to the publishers at Elsevier, Springer Nature, Academy of Management, and SAGE Publications for sharing this top-tier scholarship, much of it from the FT50 and ABDC A journal lists. 🏆📘🛎️ Don’t forget to subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify📺 Catch full episodes on YouTube at Weekend Researcher🎧 Or tune in anytime on Amazon Prime and Apple Podcasts 🎙️🍏📦Because the world’s best research isn’t just written… it’s meant to be heard. 🧠👂Now, let’s revise.
