In addition to facilitating intellectual ex­change, this workshop supports the development of a global network of young graduates interested in management and organization studies from institu­tional, organizational and behavioral per­spec­tives. It is targeted at early scholars who aim at a continued academic career in the fields of organization and manage­ment theory, strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship, organizational behavior or public management. With several faculty members’ strong background in institutional theory, the Aus­trian Early Scholars Workshop pro­vides an en­vi­ron­ment particularly conducive to research inspired by institutional perspectives. However, it is open to and invites research that draws from a broad range of theoretical and metho­do­logical underpinnings.
