Creating Value through Resourcefulness
Research by Jeff McMullen shows how entrepreneurial resourcefulness can create new value that does not come at the expense of someone or something else, even in an environment where trade is not possible. Using scenes from the movie, The Martian, he brings his theory to life and shows how profit can be sustained without having to resort to tradeoffs, such as sacrifices of equity or ecology for economy.
Smart Disclosure by Multinational Firms
Research by Stephanie Wang, Yejee Lee, and Dan Li shows how multinationals firms can utilize smart disclosure— the use of digital technologies to improve intelligence and interconnectedness among all relevant information sources and users— as a visibility-enhancing mechanism for exerting compliance pressure and fostering an environment where adherence to human rights standards is supported.
Measuring Entrepreneurial Hustle
Research by former doctoral students Devin Burnell and Emily Neubert as well as M&E faculty Greg Fisher, Regan Stevenson, and Don Kuratko develops a valid and reliable measure of entrepreneurial hustle, defined as "the urgent and unorthodox actions entrepreneurs use to address obstacles and opportunities under uncertainty," and shows that entrepreneurial hustle is positively associated with venture performance.
Coping Deeply vs. Broadly with Stressors
Research by Catherine Kleshinski and colleagues found that when it comes to addressing work-nonwork stressors over time, employees who prioritize coping deeply (i.e., using high levels of a given coping strategy) experience better work and nonwork outcomes than employees who prioritize coping broadly (i.e., using a broader range of coping strategies).
The Role of Spouses in Entrepreneurship
Research by Blake Mathias and Stephanie Wang shows that spouses support entrepreneurs by providing them with time and financial resources to support a venture, providing feedback and providing hands-on support with the venture, and celebrating success and empathizing with challenges.
Wearable Technology Designed to Improve Sleep
Research conducted by Cristiano Guarana and colleagues shows that wearing headbands designed with closed loop acoustic stimulation can improve sleep quality, and enhance work engagement, task performance, and organizational citizenship (or helping) behaviors.
Political Ideology (In)Congruence Between Board of Directors and CEO
Research conducted by M.K. Chin and colleagues shows that the political ideology of an incoming, newly hired CEO influences whether directors on the board of a company choose to continue or leave their positions.

Teaching Innovation
Kelley School of Business students in Professor Catherine Kleshinski’s Honors Leadership course observed a jazz quartet from the IU Jacobs School of Music to learn about team processes and the things you don't see that are critical for making a team successful. Professor Kleshinski, who organized this experiential learning opportunity, said she and her students were “completely blown away—with the world-class quality of the music performance; how well they unpacked all of the team dynamics and leadership at play before, during, and after their performance, including the roles that trust, interdependence, and psychological safety play in making the team successful.” This is an example of Kelley's innovative approach to teaching and experiential learning, and the wealth of collaborative opportunities available at IU.
