    CFP: Geographies of Entrepreneurship in Developed and Developing Economies

    Ben Spigel: Department of Geography, University of Toronto
    Elizabeth Mack: School of Geographical Sciences & Urban Planning,
    Arizona State University

    Over the last several years, geographers have become increasingly
    interested in entrepreneurship. Research on this topic has been wide
    ranging and is critical in understanding how the growth trajectories
    of different communities, regions, and nations have been affected by
    local entrepreneurial activities. Such perspectives have gained even
    more importance in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, as
    regions are increasingly turning to entrepreneurship as a way to
    create sustainable growth. Recent work on this topic has covered a
    wide variety of topics that range from examinations of the factors
    that predict regional levels of entrepreneurship to qualitative
    studies of the social and cultural underpinnings of the
    entrepreneurship process. However, despite such recent advances, the
    field still remains open and in need of critical analysis and
    development. This session is designed to reflect the diversity of
    research on entrepreneurship. We welcome both theoretical and
    empirical papers that address such topics as:

    *Entrepreneurship and regional economic and social resilience
    *Entrepreneurship in developing and transitional economies
    *Transnational perspectives of entrepreneurship
    *Technology transfer and academic entrepreneurship and spinoffs
    *Socio-economic contexts and entrepreneurship
    *Connections between entrepreneurship and regional economic development
    *Diverse national and regional experiences with entrepreneurship
    *Social entrepreneurship and neo-liberal economies
    *Alternative and non-traditional forms of entrepreneurship

    Please send abstracts of not more than 250 words to Ben Spigel
    (ben.spigel@utoronto.ca) or Elizabeth Mack(eamack1@asu.edu) before
    October 24th 2012
