Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to send you the call for papers of the 1st Small Business Economics: An Entrepreneurship Journal - SBEJ Conference for Young Researchers that will be help on Tuesday 22nd November 2022 at 1pm-3pm (London time).
AIM: An opportunity to discover interesting new research, and SBEJ editors' feedback thereupon. The goals are to engage with the community of entrepreneurship scholars; discuss emerging topics, issues and priorities; share tacit knowledge; and give feedback to young researchers in the spirit of a paper development workshop (but this is not a job market networking event). Topics should be broadly aligned with the main research areas of 'Small Business Economics': Entrepreneurship and the economics of small business; new venture creation; self-employment; family firms; small and medium-sized enterprises; innovative startups; entrepreneurial finance; and so on.
SETUP:
- Attendance is open to presenters and non-presenters
- Presenters must be Early Career Researchers: PhD students, post-docs, or junior faculty
- Presenters get ~ 12 minutes each: 10 mins to present, 2 mins Q&A/discussion (mainly Q, no A)
- SBEJ editors give feedback via mic or chat, non-presenters give feedback via chat (& perhaps mic)
- The Zoom chat window log file will be distributed afterwards
- The event is expected to last for 2 hours, with a minimum 3-5 SBEJ editors attending at any time
TO APPLY:
- Send an extended abstract (Times New Roman 11-point or similar, strict limit of maximum 3 pages PDF all included; 1 submission per person) to sbej.yrc@gmail.com by Sunday 16th October
- Decisions communicated to authors by Sunday 30th October
- Submitted abstracts may be rejected without a detailed justification
- We expect about 6-9 paper presentations
- Abstracts should ideally already include some results, and connect well to SBEJ topics
- We are not interested in submissions already at the R&R stage at any journal (including SBEJ)
- Presenters must give live presentations (not pre-recorded videos) and ideally attend the whole event
- There is no guarantee that presented papers will receive a favourable response from SBEJ if submitted to SBEJ, even if the comments raised by SBEJ editors are addressed
TO ATTEND AS NON-PRESENTER:
Feel free to share the call for papers with your networks and potentially interested candidates.
Kind regards,
