چکیده انگلیسی:
In response to societal grand challenges, professors have unique opportunities
to effect change, repurposing their expertise to deploy relevant, timely,
practical, and research-backed knowledge for the betterment of communities.
Drawing on scholarship on postcrisis organizing, entrepreneurial hustle, and social
entrepreneurship, we provide a firsthand, real-time case description of a three-day
“virtual idea blitz” organized in response to the COVID-19 crisis. The event was
organized and executed in less than a week and ultimately involved 200 individuals,
including entrepreneurs, coders, medical doctors, venture capitalists, industry professionals,
students, and professors from around the world. By the end of the weekend,
21 ideas with corresponding pitches were developed in five thematic areas:
health needs, education, small businesses, community, and purchasing. We
describe how the community was rapidly rallied, and we discuss the key learning
outcomes of this spontaneous entrepreneurial endeavor. We provide evidence from
participants and mentors that showcases the value of the time-compressed virtual
idea blitz in accelerating social entrepreneurial action. We offer practical guidance
to academic, community, and professional institutions that would like to replicate
or build upon our approach to stimulate the formation of community and to coordinate
efforts to thwart the ongoing threat of COVID-19, as well as other societal
challenges that might emerge in the future.
