[AISWorld] 4th International Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship (ICIE-2016) - First Call for Submissions

[Sue Nugus]

Hello

Following on from the success of the 3rd International Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Durban South Africa in March 2015
We are delighted to announce the First call for papers for the 4th International Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship (ICIE-2016) Hosted by The Ted Rogers School of Management, Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada on 28th-29th April 2016

This call will close on 8th October 2015.
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.
