Dear Colleagues

For several years George Mason University has been organizing an annual research conference to promote dialogue and collaborative research among scholars interested in the topic of Entrepreneurship spanning across many disciplines.
Our conference is open to all researchers in the field of entrepreneurship, because at MERC we firmly believe that research in Entrepreneurship is not the domain of any one academic discipline. Hence researchers from all academic disciplines are invited to participate in this fifth annual event.
You are invited to submit an ABSTRACT OF YOUR RESEARCH that is conceivably connected with any dimension of entrepreneurship such as international comparison of entrepreneurial efforts, regional development and role of government, risk taking, engineering and innovation, autonomy and leadership, entrepreneurship and cross cultural issues, HR issues as well as organizational behavior issues. Examples of such academic work include, but are not limited, to: creativity and innovation, new product or process development, examining the opportunities to change an industry, a community or our society through entrepreneurial activities, role of information technology in entrepreneurship, role of government in promoting entrepreneurial efforts across boarders.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER: The fifth annual MERC is pleased to announce that our keynote speaker is a leading entrepreneur. Many faculty teaching and researching entrepreneurship may know him as the founder of the firm that introduced Business Plan Pro software.
Tim Berry, President and Founder of Palo Alto Software (Business PlanPro)
