Call for Abstracts – Bridging the Gap Between Research and Practice, 2012 Canadian Council for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (CCSBE), September 27 – 29, 2012 at the Sobey School of Business at Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
CCSBE has gained a reputation in Canada for inviting scholars and practitioners from around the world to share research and best practices, and to discuss small business and entrepreneurship. This year's conference attempts to challenge scholars and practitioners to consider their findings – under all areas of entrepreneurship – in light of how they could be applied in practice. The 2012 CCSBE Conference is exploring the theme "Bridging the Gap Between Research and Practice".
This fall, the 2012 CCSBE Conference is facilitating an exchange of the practical implications of research findings. The ability to translate findings into practice relevant for entrepreneurs, policy makers, small business owners, professional advisors and support organizations is a key objective this year. Abstracts are invited from all areas of entrepreneurship, SMEs and innovation, and authors are requested to give special consideration to the use and implications of their expected findings in organizational practice.
Abstracts should consider the purpose, method and expected findings of the study, as well as the expected ability of the findings to influence practice. CCSBE encourages papers and cases in entrepreneurial education; finance; cognition and characteristic; innovation; technology; sustainable growth; ethnicity, gender or other cohorts; and strategy amongst others.
We will be accepting submissions for academic papers, case studies, workshops and panels in the following tracks:
- Finance - debt, banking, private equity, public equity
- The Entrepreneur - motivation, cognition, behavior, networks, attitudes, teams
- Cohorts - gender specific, immigrants, race or ethnic background, family business
