The event is designed to enable members, especially Early Career Researchers (ECRs), of the BAM Entrepreneurship SIG to present their research to, and receive feedback from, their peers. ECRs from other BAM SIGs are also welcome to join and present their work in these events. The audience will primarily be members of BAM.
The main aim of these events is to provide a capacity building opportunity to ECRs to present their research to specialised and non-specialised audience, receive feedback and critically engage with that feedback to improve their work.
This will be an open online event for all ECRs in all tracks. They can present developmental papers, research ideas, and/or projects that are either in-progress or planned. Presenters will have a slot of 20 minutes; 10 minutes to speak, with or without slides, and 10 minutes to have follow up discussion.
A maximum of three presentations will take place at each of the four events. Since the places for presenters are limited, you are requested to submit your expression of interest to Aqueel Wahga ([email protected]) as soon as possible.
Note: This only needs to include your request to participate and the topic you intend to cover in the presentation.

Chairs
Prof Wilson Ng
Wilson Ng, PhD is a tenured Professor of Entrepreneurship at IDRAC Business School in Lyon, France. Wilson researches processes of opportunity creation in challenge-based ventures. These ventures face existential threats from their operating environment, principally in Wilson’s research when their founders are cognitively and/or physically impaired. Wilson also researches challenge-based entrepreneurs in Do-It-Yourself laboratories who are able to exploit severe competition from incumbent businesses, and migrant entrepreneurs who create ventures by negotiating hostile economic and social barriers.
Prior to higher education, Wilson enjoyed a long career as a corporate finance adviser, initially with Rothschild & Co., and then with the Guthrie Group. Wilson continues to advise technology ventures as an advisory board member of a FinTech start-up in London (https://crowdforangels.com/our-team) and as a non-executive director of a research venture in high-temperature superconducting based in Cambridge, UK.
Wilson has an MA and PhD in Management Studies from Trinity College, Cambridge. He also holds an MBA from London University and a postgraduate Diploma in Accounting from the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
In the British Academy of Management, Wilson has been the elected Track Chair of the Entrepreneurship SIG since 2018. He was previously Treasurer from 2011. Wilson is also a member of BAM’s Peer Review College.
