<p class=MsoNormal>Hello<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This is a <b>Final </b>call for papers for the <b>6th
European Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship </b>being held at the <b>Robert
Gordon University, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK on the 15-16 September 2011.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>This call is open until 24<sup>th</sup> of February 2011.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Conference proceedings are submitted for accreditation on
publication. Please note that depending on the accreditation body this process
can take up to several months.<o:p></o:p></p>

papers will be considered for a special issue of the International Journal of
Entrepreneurial Venturing, a journal published by Inderscience. <o:p></o:p></p>
