Anna Kim earns 2024 Award for Responsible Research in Management

We live in an age that valorizes virality, where high-growth enterprises seek to go global in scale. But what works for Silicon Valley doesn’t necessarily work everywhere. In an article published in the Academy of Management Journal, Associate Professor of Strategy & Organization Anna Kim questions the value of high-growth entrepreneurship for economically challenged locales. She found that ventures with deep local roots created jobs and addressed local problems and spillover effects that stayed local. Kim’s research contributions have been recognized with a 2024 Award for Responsible Research in Management, an honour co-sponsored by the Fellows of the Academy of Management and the Community Responsible for Research in Business and Management.
