9th ANNUAL NYU-STERN CONFERENCE ON SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Academic conference: November 7 & 8
Practitioner conference: November 9, in collaboration with the
Foundation for Social Change and the United Nations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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
* Cross-cultural comparative studies in social entrepreneurship
* Research challenges in social entrepreneurship
A number of added features and incentives for you to come to our
conference, including:
