INSEAD Conference on Network Evolution 2.0
Networks, Innovation and Entrepreneurship
October 22-23, 2010
CALL FOR PAPERS
(reminder, apologies for cross posting)
Organizations and individuals are embedded in networks of social
relationships, and the positions in these networks are very influential
to the success and performance of organizations and individual alike.
The INSEAD Conference on Network Evolution is a two day event where we
will provide a forum for researchers working at the intersection of
networks, innovation and entrepreneurship. We will request submissions
that examine the consequences of networks for innovation and the
identification of entrepreneurial opportunities; as well as the reverse
effects of entrepreneurial activities on the structure of social
relationships. Our objective is to generate new insights into the
drivers of the evolution of the social structure as well as to stimulate
dialogue between scholars tackling these issues from an innovation
perspective. We expect this to be small conference (around 30 papers) so
that the participants can receive quality feedback from the discussants
as well as from their peers.
This is the second time INSEAD organizes the conference on Network
Evolution. The first inaugural conference brought together over 50
academics from all over the world interested in examining the questions
of network dynamics at the inter-personal and the inter-organizational
levels.
