Entrepreneurship Studies and Influences

Identity is a critical concept in management because it influences firm formation, managerial cognition, and the work of individuals and organizations. Identity is particularly salient to entrepreneurship scholarship, where research indicates that any one individual may concurrently hold multiple identities related to the roles he or she occupies, or due to the social motivations for occupying those roles. While most scholarship in this area focuses on conflicts that arise from holding multiple identities, conflict is not the sole means by which multiple identities may intersect. As such, the purpose of our symposium is to expand the aperture through which we view the intersection of multiple identities. The papers in this symposium examine multiple ways that identities may intersect, including interference, coalescence, evolution, and detachment. The symposium includes five paper presentations followed commentary by a discussant.
