Entrepreneurial Communication: Rhetorical Strategies in an Interactive yet Uncertain World
Venue: Westin/ St. George B
Time: Monday, Aug 7, 12:00pm-1:30pm
We are excited to organize this presenter symposium that will bring scholars in to discuss their current work as well as their thoughts on the most promising and pressing agenda for future research.
Rather than being peripheral to strategy, communication fundamentally shapes new ventures – as well as their interactions with entrepreneurial ecosystem participants. Communication is the process of creating and changing meanings; it is instrumental in helping entrepreneurs motivate key actions and decisions of not only themselves, but also how entrepreneurs and ecosystem participants such as investors, employees, or customers exert mutual influence through socially situated, dialogic processes.
