TED BAKER will join our expert panel of keynotes for ACERE 2018.
| Ted Baker leads entrepreneurship efforts at Rutgers Business School – Newark & New Brunswick. He spent much of the first half of his adult life building a variety of technology-rich entrepreneurial ventures. During his subsequent academic career, he has helped to build two leading programs in technology entrepreneurship and commercialization (University of Wisconsin-Madison and NC State University). He has studied entrepreneurship under conditions of resource constraint and adversity (for example in the informal settlements around Cape Town, South Africa, in the textile industry in the American South and Northeast), focusing in particular on bricolage and improvisation as constructs useful for understanding resourceful behavior. His current work on Founder Identity Theory (FIT) explores the processes through which entrepreneurship sometimes allows people to pursue their goals and become who they want to be despite common problems of resource constraint and adversity. His research has been published in leading academic management and entrepreneurship journals, such as Academy of Management Journal, Administrative Science Quarterly, Journal of Business Venturing and Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal.
