*Minitrack Details: Knowledge **management and entrepreneurship in
early
stage firms*
Entrepreneurs and those building early stage firms have an
additional
challenge to those who are developing innovations in mature firms:
entrepreneurs are simultaneously trying to build their
organisational
systems and approach while also trying to develop their new
products or
services. Mature organisations often have established methods and
systems
in use to capture and manage knowledge that supports process
improvement
and product/ service innovation, whereas start-ups and early stage
firms do
not.
This mini track seeks studies of either early stage firms/
start-ups or
mature firms, or both as comparisons, focussing on the knowledge
and
entrepreneurship challenges associated with different levels of
firm
maturity. These can be case studies, survey-based research,
models,
maturity grids or other studies that examine how firm maturity,
size or
other parameters are related to knowledge management and
entrepreneurship
approaches.
Possible topics include:
· How do start-ups manage their knowledge?
· How does the degree of formality impact on the knowledge
management and entrepreneurship approach and effectiveness?
· How do start-ups manage tacit and explicit knowledge?
· What theoretical frames are useful as lenses to examine this
phenomena?
· How can entrepreneurs such as FinTechs and software start-ups
compete with more maturely developed firms?
