~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our annual NYU-Stern Conference on Social Entrepreneurship is
dedicated to the ongoing
development of theory and research on social entrepreneurship and its impact on
global communities. The aim of the two-day academic conference is to
bring together
scholars in social entrepreneurship to discuss emerging concepts and
themes in social
entrepreneurship research. Conceptual papers, research papers
presenting quantitative
and/or qualitative data are welcome, as well as case studies and
practitioner contributions.
Conference Themes
Here are several research suggestions that may be interesting and
highly provocative,
although abstracts that address other relevant and timely themes of
social entrepreneurship
but are not covered below are also welcome:
* Social entrepreneurship process involving opportunity recognition
and evaluation
* Organizational forms of social enterprises
* Challenges of scaling and measuring social impact
* Emerging themes in social entrepreneurship education
