Building on the vibrant cohort of scholars in ethics, entrepreneurship, and
sustainability, the SEE Conference will enable local, national, and
international researchers to drive the development of these increasingly
important and rapidly changing areas of study. Sustainability, ethics, and
entrepreneurship draw on knowledge from diverse, but converging streams of
research. These include but are not limited to studies on sustainability,
social entrepreneurship, business ethics, firm-community ties, and
environment impacts, to name a few. The fact that ethics and sustainability
are intertwined with the concept of entrepreneurship is no longer new.
Indeed, many argue that ethical choices are a fundamental aspect of any
business activity, and critical to sustained success of startups, small
firms, medium enterprises, and large, multinational corporations. Some even
suggest that the focus on sustainability, ethics, and entrepreneurship
triangulates every economic opportunity. The goal of the conference is to
advance knowledge about SEE-related topics.
We invite participants to submit abstracts (2-3 page) that address a broad
array of subjects on the topics of sustainability, ethics, and
entrepreneurship (SEE). These abstracts will be reviewed by our Advisory
Board. For potential topics, see our website (SEE Conference)
Participants of the SEE conference can expect to:
· Share cutting-edge research, ideas and theories.
· Foster collaborative research efforts.
· Build a worldwide network of scholars who advance the state of knowledge
about SEE.
There is no registration fee, but participants commit to attend the entire
event,
The conference will start with a reception, dinner, and keynote speaker
(Venkat) on Thursday, April 12.
On Friday, April 13, there will be a full day of presentations, and three
keynote speakers (breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks will be provided).
The conference will end with a dinner and a keynote speaker (Jay Barney).
