Brochure
Entrepreneurship and innovation have been recognized as major determinants of economic growth in most developed countries. Increased entrepreneurial activity and innovation have resulted in an environment of sustained economic growth and controlled unemployment in North America over the last twenty years. Academic researchers and policy makers in Europe as well as Asia are realizing the potential of entrepreneurship to improve growth rates and reverse the increasing levels of unemployment. This joint conference aims to bring together work on sources of entrepreneurship, the challenges in enabling and sustaining entrepreneurship and innovation, and issues in entrepreneurship culture. There shall also be special sessions on entrepreneurial situation in Europe and Asia.
The conference will address the following topics:
- Knowledge sources of entrepreneurship (e.g. from science, employees or users)
- Human capital challenges for enabling and sustaining entrepreneurial activity and innovation
- Issues in entrepreneurship culture
- Assessment of the spatial distribution and local clustering of innovative entrepreneurship and analysis of its impact on economic performance
- Assessment of differences and similarities between Europe and Asia in the industrial structure of entrepreneurship and its impact on regional and national economic performance
- Assessment of entrepreneurship and innovation policies in Europe and Asia
We invite papers that deal with these issues.
