Building on the vibrant cohort of scholars in ethics, entrepreneurship, and sustainability, the SEE Conference will enable local, national, and international researchers to drive the development of these increasingly important and rapidly changing areas of study. Sustainability, ethics, and entrepreneurship draw on knowledge from diverse, but converging streams of research. These include but are not limited to studies on sustainability, social entrepreneurship, business ethics, firm-community ties, and environment impacts, to name a few. The fact that ethics and sustainability are intertwined with the concept of entrepreneurship is no longer new. Indeed, many argue that ethical choices are a fundamental aspect of any business activity, and critical to sustained success of startups, small firms, medium enterprises, and large, multinational corporations. Some even suggest that the focus on sustainability, ethics, and entrepreneurship triangulates every economic opportunity. The goal of the conference is to advance knowledge about SEE-related topics.
We invite participants to submit abstracts (2-3 page) that address a broad array of subjects on the topics of sustainability, ethics, and entrepreneurship (SEE). These abstracts will be reviewed by our Advisory Board. For potential topics, see our website (SEE Conference<http://biz.colostate.edu/seeConference/Pages/default.aspx>)
Participants of the SEE conference can expect to:
· Share cutting-edge research, ideas and theories.
· Foster collaborative research efforts.
· Build a worldwide network of scholars who advance the state of knowledge about SEE.
There is no registration fee, but participants commit to attend the entire event,
The conference will start with a reception, dinner, and keynote speaker (Venkat) on Thursday, April 12.
On Friday, April 13, there will be a full day of presentations, and three keynote speakers (breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks will be provided).
The conference will end with a dinner and a keynote speaker (Jay Barney).
