Over the last two decades, robust research has examined how entrepreneurs develop and launch startups by managing uncertainty and developing strategies through learning, doing, and thinking. In this PDW, we bring together the seminal and leading scholars of five theoretical models: Effectuation, Entrepreneurial Strategy, Lean Startup, Scientific Approach, Simple Rules. Through presentations and discussant-led breakout sessions, we will compare and contrast these models to a) identify their underpinning assumptions, key mechanisms, and contingencies, and b) develop a future research agenda that builds on such integration.
