This Professional Develop Workshop (PDW) is aimed at scholars interested in the latest advances in researching and teaching science commercialization and academic entrepreneurship, with an emphasis on how research and teaching can add unique value to university-based inventing teams when they intersect with inventors’ practice in a timely manner. We will explore how organizational and management scholars with diverse interests may not only conceptualize, model, and theorize the impacts of universities on their economic and social environments, but also increase, speed, and shape them. As university funders and other stakeholders call for more positive societal impact from universities, it creates opportunities for innovative business school research and teaching that, in some forms, can directly influence practice in real-time to create impact. Because Early Career Researchers (ECRs) are increasingly expected to engage with practitioners and to generate impact, this PDW is designed not only to expose them to innovative research and teaching but also to opportunities for synergy and alignment of their research and teaching with their own and their institution’s impact agenda. Experienced faculty, who may be positioned inside their university to champion, implement and institutionalize innovative practice-focused research and teaching programs, will also benefit. We, therefore, see this PDW as providing a one-stop-shop for both early career and senior researchers to gain an overview of recent innovations in research and teaching of science commercialization and academic entrepreneurship, including ones that intersect in bespoke, timely, value-adding ways with practice to realize impact.
