While there is a consensus about the Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM) being a critical driver of new ventures and large organizations, there is a lack of clarity and agreement about what EM is and how it can help entrepreneurs navigate uncertainties in their journey and generate entrepreneurial culture that fosters innovation within organizations. This precedence has also stunted the development of pedagogical tools that are theoretically robust and practically useful due to the blurred understanding of the concept. Thus, we present this professional development workshop to discuss, critically analyze, and elaborate on the current and future research avenues of EM research in entrepreneurship and organizational contexts. Specifically, we intend to nurture discussions pertaining to different theoretical positions on the conceptualization of EM and how each of the interpretations of EM helps or limits us in reaching a comprehensive understanding of the concept. Further, we shall discuss different methodological approaches that previous scholars have taken to unravel the understanding of EM and which methodological tools future scholars can utilize to enhance the knowledge of EM. Thus, this PDW will provide a ground for scholars interested in entrepreneurial and organizational cognition, emotions, and behaviors to cultivate new knowledge about EM and enrich this elusive concept through multi-disciplinary perspectives. This new knowledge will carve the possibilities of pedagogical tools that will be theoretically consistent and practically valuable.
