Biographies 

Dr Konstantinos Chalkias is a Senior Lecturer in Management at Birkbeck, University of London. Drawing from social-practice theory, he studies strategizing within organizations and markets. He is also interested in interorganizational contexts that are described by paradoxical tensions, with a recent focus on investigating how governments and markets work together to address a grand challenge – the disaster insurance protection gap. Finally, he is interested in international comparative studies that explore organizational variation in global financial markets. His research has been published in journals such as the Academy of Management Journal, British Journal of Management, and Strategic Organization.

Dr Grace Bo Peng is a lecturer in management in Birkbeck, University of London. She completed her doctoral training at the Bayes Business School, City University London in 2017, and has developed broad research interests covering the areas of the entrepreneurial finance and exit strategies, tourism demand analysing, as well as experimental methods applied in entrepreneurship research. Her doctoral dissertation focuses on entrepreneurial finance and exit strategies based on a dataset of entrepreneurial firms listed for the first time in the LSE and Alternative Investment Market. The first study extends our understanding of the categorical imperative that financial markets impose on listed firms, by exploring how the category spanning behavior of the founders harms their resource acquisition via IPO, as well as the way they offset such penalty, which has been published in Organization Science in 2022. The second study explores variance in the exit decisions of founders after IPO, and examines factors explaining these decisions, which has been accepted to be published in Academy of Management Journal in 2020. Her publications also appear in Tourism Management and Journal of Travel Research.
