Dear Colleagues:
Please make your plans to attend the 21st Annual Gateway Entrepreneurship
Research Conference at Saint Louis University, St. Louis, MO, April 16-18,
2010. This is a uniquely styled conference that fosters
lively group discussions following the keynote addresses given by Dr.
Kelly Shaver, Professor and Chair in the Department of Management and
Entrepreneurship at College of Charleston, and Dr. Barbara Bird, Associate
Professor in the Kogod School of Business at American University.
The 2010 conference explores the specifying, measuring, and teaching of
entrepreneur behavior. A recent review of entrepreneur behavior at the
level of individual (or group) actions during the start up of a venture
reveals that this broad category of personal characteristics is specified,
measured, and taught in a myriad of ways. There is no well-founded theory
or model of entrepreneur behavior that distinguishes it from managerial,
leadership, creative behaviors, etc. Such a theory or model is necessary
to advance research and to enable better observation and teaching of
potential entrepreneurs. At the meeting, we would like to have structured
discussion topics such as:
• What are the theories (and research) that guide entrepreneurial
start up behavior at the individual level (as distinct from organizational
behavior, leadership behavior)?
• What dimensions should define entrepreneur behavior?
• How do we recognize entrepreneur behavior?
• What measurements should be used to assess/measure entrepreneur
behavior?
• Strategies for funding a multi-year project to develop
psychometrically sound measures.
Details and registration materials will follow. For information, please
contact Jeanne Rhodes at 314-977-3850 or
ecenter@slu.edu.
Sincerely,
Jintong
