SUMMARY:10th Effectuation Conference: Effectual Impact: The Entrepreneurial Role in Connecting Society
DESCRIPTION:The 10th Effectuation Conference theme is “Effectual Impact: The Entrepreneurial Role in Connecting Society”.  Effectuation has inspired a generation of researchers and practitioners to see entrepreneurship through a different lens. By focusing on means at hand\, letting go of preconceived plans\, building through collaboration\, and embracing uncertainty\, aspiring entrepreneurs have earned a toolbox that catalyzed the design of more creative and durable businesses. \nEach year\, our community expands through the valuable exchanges that occur at our conference. These include the design of new research projects\, the development of educational tools\, and critical debates on the far-reaching impact of effectual thinking. This year\, we will dedicate the 10th Effectuation Conference to “The Entrepreneurial Role in Connecting Society”.  We invite researchers\, authors\, educators\, policy makers and other persons of interest to submit their work.  Come to the conference to engage in a discussion about how effectuation can be practiced in the real world! \nDuring our two days together\, we will explore: \n\nHow can effectuation be practiced by entrepreneurs and managers?\nWhat other disciplines can benefit from effectuation theory? And how?\nWhat is the value of effectuation when uncertainty is low(er)?\n\nEffectuation is at the vanguard of entrepreneurship research and practice as a scientifically validated method that arms aspiring entrepreneurs with a toolkit to design bold\, creative\, and unexpected solutions. In our post-pandemic world where global challenges threaten to upend our lives with unprecedented crises\, teaching effectuation as means to forge better futures was never this urgent. \nCo-branded with ECSB and scheduled in tandem with the RENT Conference\, the 2025 Effectuation Conference will take place in Twente\, City of Enschede\, Netherlands. \nImportant Deadlines:\nPaper submission:    May 15\, 2025\nAuthor notification:     July 31\, 2025\nRegistration opens:    August 15\, 2025\nRegistration closes:    September 30\, 2025
