[AISWorld] 6th European Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship -ECIE 2011 - Final Call for Papers

[Sue Nugus]

Hello

This is a Final call for papers for the 6th European Conference on
Innovation and Entrepreneurship being held at the Robert Gordon
University, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK on the 15-16 September 2011.

This call is open until 24th of February 2011.

Innovation and entrepreneurship are tightly coupled concepts. Innovation
involves designing new ways of conceptualising, developing and producing
a range of goods and services which society requires. Although inventing
new things may be seen as part of innovation, innovation does not
exclusively rely on new discoveries. Rather it can stem from simply
seeing new ways of satisfying demand. Thus innovation is not a synonym
for invention and almost anyone can come up with new innovations.

Entrepreneurship adds a further dimension to how new ideas are converted
into goods and services. Entrepreneurship is sometimes said to be a
mindset required to convert innovation into a real business situation
which will deliver benefits to the stakeholders. Entrepreneurship is
always driven by an individual or a small group of individuals who are
referred to as entrepreneurs and who are sometimes colloquially referred
to as the 'movers and shakers' in our society. Thus the entrepreneur
configures the various factors of products to that they become a viable
proposition. 

Both innovation and entrepreneurship are generally under-researched and
the advisory group for the conference invites submissions of both
academic and practitioner papers on a wide range of topics and a wide
range of scholarly approaches including theoretical and empirical papers
employing qualitative, quantitative and critical methods.
