Call for Papers Shanghai Conference on Finance and Entrepreneurship and International Journal of Managerial Finance Special Issue on Finance and Entrepreneurship
Submission Deadline: March 15, 2012
Conference Dates: May 30 ? June 1, 2012
Conference Co-organizers: Wanli Li, Shanghai Institute of Foreign Trade, China Craig Wilson, University of Saskatchewan, Canada Zhenyu Wu, University of Manitoba, Canada
Guest Editors: Craig Wilson and Zhenyu Wu A growing body of academic literature highlights an important connection between finance and entrepreneurship. As the engine of economic growth and sustainability, entrepreneurial firms have attracted the eyes of both academic researchers and policy makers. Moreover, during the on-going economic recession their financial and financing issues require further investigation so that entrepreneurial firms can continue to contribute to the economic recovery. We invite international scholars from entrepreneurship, finance, economics, accounting, and other related disciplines to submit papers that advance our knowledge about the interface between finance and entrepreneurship, both theoretically and empirically. Possible research areas include, but are not limited to, finance issues about new ventures and small firms, private equity, venture capitalists, business angels, IPO of ventures, family firms, etc. The associated conference will be held at the Shanghai Institute of Foreign Trade, Shanghai, China.
