His current research focuses on corporate governance and the social construction of entrepreneurial market environments, particularly the initial public offerings (IPO) market. He considers how social and political factors such as reputation, celebrity, status, social capital, impression management activities, media accounts, and the power of different actors influence IPO firm performance, survival, alliance formation activities, and executive recruitment and compensation. He is also interested in how entrepreneurs’ experience and organizational resource endowments influence their strategic decision making.

Please, send a note by October 5th to ilonka.weinberger@uni-passau.de to let us know if you are interested in participating in the session and whether you want your idea/paper outline to be discussed. Those of you who want to work on a paper and get selected will be notified on October 6. You can also attach a ppt file or any other kind of material you want Prof. Pollock to study in preparation for your feedback.
The idea is to organize the PDW as a “masterclass” where everyone participates in the discussion of maximum four ideas/papers. As such, the discussion of your paper will be on a first come first serve basis. However, note that listening in to the PDW will certainly be worthwhile, as Professor Pollock will attempt to address issues that will almost certainly be of value to all. You are also invited to contribute feedback and ask questions.
