    Professor Friederike Welter of the University of Siegen, who is also President of the Institut für Mittelstandsforschung (IfM) Bonn, received the Foundational Paper Award from the Entrepreneurship Division at the 85th Annual Conference of the Academy of Management (AOM) in Copenhagen yesterday. The economist now joins the league of internationally renowned entrepreneurship researchers such as Professor William B. Gartner, Professor Jérome Katz, Professor Howard Aldrich, Professor Jennifer Jennings and Professor William J. Baumol.

    Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Friederike Welter (IfM Bonn/University of Siegen) received yesterday the Foundational Paper Award from the Entrepreneurship Division at the 85th Annual Conference of the Academy of Management (AOM) in Copenhagen. The jury honoured the first publication "Contextualizing Entrepreneurship - Conceptual Challenges and Ways Forward" of her comprehensive contextual research. In its statement, the jury noted that the IfM president "has a lasting and positive impact on the discussion in the field of entrepreneurship for at least a decade."

    The Foundational Paper Award is given out annually since 2008 for publications that "have applied a concept or theory from entrepreneurship research in a particularly meaningful way or have empirically investigated an important question in a novel way." In the past, internationally renowned entrepreneurship researchers such as Professor William B. Gartner and Professor Jérome Katz ("Properties of emerging organizations"), Professor Howard Aldrich and Professor Jennifer Jennings ("The pervasive effects of family on entrepreneurship: Toward a family embeddedness perspective") and Professor William J. Baumol ("Entrepreneurship: Productive, unproductive and destructive") have received the award.

    Professor Friederike Welter highlighted in her speech the special features of contextual research and pointed out areas where she sees a need for further research. "This includes questioning our general assumptions about what is important for entrepreneurship," said the award winner.
