Aalto University: Ewald Kibler joins the Editorial Review Board of Academy of Management Discoveries

Academy of Management Discoveries’ (AMD) “mission is to publish phenomenon-driven empirical research that theories of management and organizations neither adequately predict nor explain. Data on these poorly understood phenomena can come from any source, including ethnographic observations, lab and field experiments, field surveys, meta-analyses, construct validation research, and replication studies. AMD welcomes exploratory research at the pre-theory stage of knowledge development, where it is premature to specify hypotheses, and which generates surprising findings likely to stimulate and guide further exploration and analysis. This research must be grounded in rigorous state-of-the-art methods, present strong and persuasive evidence, and offer interesting and important implications for theory and practice”.

Ewald Kibler’s research is pronouncedly multi-disciplinary, applying theories from psychology, sociology, and geography. Combining quantitative and qualitative methods, his current research interests are: Situated Entrepreneurial Imaginations; New Venture Creation and Legitimation, Entrepreneurship Culture and Regional Development; Collective Enterprising and Institutional Change; Emotions and Place in Pro-Social Business Venturing; Late-Career Entrepreneurship and Well-Being.
