Last week I spent three-plus days in the lovely city of Providence, Rhode Island as a visiting faculty member of the Brown International Advanced Research Institute (BIARI) on Technology Management and Entrepreneurship. With the possible exception of Mark Suchman -- a "law professor without portfolio" -- I was the only law professor in attendance, but it was well worth my time. In addition to finding a wonderful cheese shop in Providence, I was able to hear entrepreneurship and management scholars discuss their work. I was reminded that legal scholars, especially legal scholars who study organizations, have much to learn about organizations and entrepreneurship from our colleagues in business schools and sociology departments. (We also have a lot to learn from economists, but we are already tapped into that scholarship in meaningful ways.) The sociologically orientated organizational scholarship, like the work Mary Tripsas presented at the conference, goes largely unread in law schools. It's our loss.
