welcome!
The Symposium on The Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM) is taking place in two parts: the first half occurred December 8-9, 2016 at Arizona State University and the second half is March 23 in Washington, D.C.
The purpose of the symposium is to bring together a working group of researchers and practitioners such as yourself to help advance our understanding of the entrepreneurial mindset (EM). In particular, we aim to:
- Define an EM continuum
- Situate various efforts along this EM continuum
- Develop and share methods and tools to measure EM
