Entrepreneurship has gained new scholarly interest
as the new economy takes
root. What does it mean? Basically it suggests
creativity and innovativeness
in identifying and exploiting new niches in the
economy. This would include
finding new means to exploit existing niches. But
entrepreneurship has also
spawned new directions in conceptions of the
individual and the
organization. The concept is implicit, for instance,
in terms such as
self-employment, employability, lifelong learning,
and self-marketing. On
the level of organizations, entrepreneurship is
embedded in terms such as
empowerment and self-managed teams. We welcome
papers which address such
changes, and the advent of an entrepreneurial
society.
The co-chairs will gather all submissions of papers
until November 1, 2001.
Paper proposals should include a clear summary of
theme, data collection,
and theoretical directions as well as a schedule on
paper completion. The
result of the selection process will be announced by
November 15.
Please note that any acceptance of a paper will
assume that the author is
committed to attend the conference session. Early
notice of any change in an
author's intention to attend the conference would be
much appreciated.
Depending on the quality of submissions and the
individual interest of
participants, the co-chairs intend to prepare an
edited volume. The four or
five presented session papers could form the core,
with selected papers that
could not be accommodated in the session as well as
some specially invited
papers complementing them.
