Call for Papers for a SMS Special Conference on
NEW FRONTIERS IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP:
Strategy, Governance and Evolution
Catania, Italy, May 23-25, 2007
Co-sponsored by:
Corporate Strategy and Governance Interest Group Entrepreneurship and
Strategy Interest Group of the Strategic Management Society and the
University of Catania
Conference Co-Chairs:
David Audretsch, Giovanni Battista Dagnino, Rosario Faraci and Robert
Hoskisson
Conference Purpose
Entrepreneurial processes are essentially driven by the desire to
start a new venture, or re-invent and radically transform an existing
company. Entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial managers seek to shape the
future of their businesses by visualizing and implementing new
imaginative ventures and models. The desired outcomes are
organizational genesis, growth and rejuvenation that are underpinned
by new competitive advantages leading to new profitable opportunities.
Research on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial processes has met
with the greatest success at the dawn of the new millennium,
stretching its frontiers from a peripheral sub-field of management
studies into one of the most relevant spheres of strategic management.
This special conference is aimed at taking an in-depth analysis of
both the theory and practice directly associated with
entrepreneurship, especially with regard to nurturing strategic
systems, governance arrangements and evolutionary paths in
organizations.
The conference is therefore about discussing new developments and
achievements in entrepreneurial research. We have chosen the title
"New Frontiers in Entrepreneurship" because we wish to underscore the
importance of two closely related themes: (1) connecting developments
in entrepreneurship to current strategy thinking and practice, and (2)
generating new and innovative ways to cultivate and develop
entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial processes.
Consultants, executives and academics are encouraged to attend this
conference to discuss new advancements, reflect on previous
accomplishments and breakdowns with fresh conceptual and new empirical
approaches.
Submission of Papers and Proposals
The deadline for all submissions is February 15, 2007.
