Lab I: Entrepreneurial Ecosystems
Time: 14h00-15h30
Location: Building II, Auditório C1.03
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Fostering entrepreneurship has become a core component of economic development in cities, regions and countries around the world. Also, science and technology-based entrepreneurship has been a major driver to accelerate change and create new ventures in high value sectors.
One way to address the challenge is using the metaphor of an entrepreneurship ecosystem. Entrepreneurial ecosystems can be defined as a set of interdependent actors and factors coordinated in such a way that they enable productive entrepreneurship within a particular territory. Systemic conditions seem to be at the heart of the ecosystem and include networks of entrepreneurs and intermediaries, governance structures, collaboration processes and leadership, finance, talent, knowledge, and support services.
Discussions on entrepreneurial ecosystems are quite often superficial, focusing more on superficial generalizations based on successful and popular examples rather than on rigorous social science research.
The LAB joins academics and practitioners to discuss the topic towards future research and policy agendas.

Lab II: Innovation – bridging the gap between academia and practice
Time: 15h30-17h00
Location: Building II, Auditório C1.03
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
To understand the relationship between academia and practitioners, more specifically between knowledge production and its use, one has to discuss the nature of two distinct but complementary activities: research and innovation. The former seeks to advance knowledge, to explore new fields and to push the limits of knowledge. The latter is the application ok knowledge to ideate, to evolve, and to create value (not only through new products and services development but also considering internal processes, including the new challenges deriving from digital transformation, marketing and business models.)
This is a long-standing challenge, namely because academia and practitioners have different cultures, motivating factors, perspectives, approaches, risks, findings, and key capabilities.
The LAB joins academics and practitioners to discuss the theme and to try to identify win-win collaborative agendas, in order to generate mutual benefits and narrow or bridge the gap between the two realities.

Lab III: AR (Augmented Reality) & VR (Virtual Reality) implications for Management
Time: 17h00-18h30
Location: Building II, Auditório C1.04
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
AR and VR has seen a burst in commercial applications in the last decade. The increase in smartphone usage and new technologies embedded in each device led to the development of new applications in many different sectors. However, new techniques such as Spatial Augmented Reality are becoming affordable to the consumer allowing new experiences and ways to interact with the world. AR and VR have vast implications for Management, such as new ways for communicating with consumers, training of employees, prototype simulation for NPD and there are a vast number of new research theories that may arise from such advances.
The LAB joins a group of practitioners and academics from various sectors to discuss and highlight the challenges faced today and in the future use of such technologies in Management.

Lab IV: Responsible Research in Business and Management (RRBM)
Time: 17h00-18h30
Location: Building II, Auditório C1.03
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Research is the foundation of business education and practice, yet research in business schools has been criticized for being weak in integrity and low in relevance. Responsible research ensures the production of credible knowledge that can be used to inform progressive government policies and promote positive business and management practices.
The RRBM movement has produced seven principles as a guide to responsible research. The aim of the workshop is to explore these, and other, ways of promoting good research in our community.
