Aberdeen Conference Call for Papers
13-15 September 2007
Perspectives on Entrepreneurship: Cultures and Contexts?
Conference jointly established by CERVEPAS, Sorbonne nouvelle, Paris, and
Aberdeen Business School, Aberdeen, 13-15 September 2007.
Entrepreneurship has become a legitimate form of behaviour and institutional
practice that has universal development model value. It appears as a key
driver of economic performance and a vector of social change. Yet it is also
rooted in contrasting national contexts and shaped by highly varied cultures
and structured by local, regional and national socio-economic institutions.
This international conference proposes examining the nature and impact of
these cultural and contextual variables on international entrepreneurial
activity as well as studying the different systems and models of development
that derive from them.
We invite papers that consider these aspects of entrepreneurship; culture
and context; differences and similarities; institutions and networks;
discourse and narrative and of course the globalisation effects on
entrepreneurship. Papers that inform or challenge our existing knowledge of
these aspects are particularly welcome.
The conference will be held at Aberdeen Business School, The Robert Gordon
University, on the 13th, 14th and 15th of September 2007 and the format will
be an informal presentation and discussion of the papers. We hope that the
conference will produce new informed ways of appreciating enterprise culture
at an international level.
Keynote speakers: Alain Fayolle, EM Lyon
A full social programme is an integrated part of the conference where we
will have a chance to enjoy Scottish hospitality in convivial surroundings.
We have secured a special edition of the International Journal of
Entrepreneurship and Innovation and selected papers will be published here.
If we have a sufficient number of interesting papers we may also be able to
secure an additional and different journal issue. We are also in
negotiations with a prestigious publisher, Edward Elgar, about the
possibility of an edited book based on the conference.
We will shortly be setting up a website with full details of the conference,
but meantime please send any enquiries to Professor Alistair R Anderson,
a.r.anderson@rgu.ac.uk, or
cervepas@univ-paris3.fr
Deadline for submission of proposals: 15 April, 2007
500 word proposals (written in English) should be sent electronically before
the above date to both
a.r.anderson@rgu.ac.uk and
cervepas@univ-paris3.fr.
Please attach a short biography.
Organizing committee: Alistair R. Anderson, Martine Azuelos, Catherine
Coron, Jacques-Henri Coste, Heather Fulford, Ben Offerlé, Marzena
