SUMMARY:NCSB 2022 - 21st Nordic Conference on Small Business Research
DESCRIPTION:Since its inception in 1980 the NCSB conference has been a biannual event in the Nordic tradition characterized by an open atmosphere that encourages the exchange of ideas between researchers with research interests in the field of small business and entrepreneurship. The 2022 NCSB conference in Kolding\, Denmark will continue this tradition and welcomes papers from all areas of the small business and entrepreneurship. \nThe conference will feature a mix of special theme tracks\, general tracks and paper development tracks. \nSpecial theme tracks will focus on research themes that are central in Nordic research on small business and entrepreneurship and will be announced later on the website. General tracks will be divided into an entrepreneurship track and a SME track. Special theme tracks and general tracks will feature presentations of research papers followed by constructive feedback in plenary discussions. In the paper development tracks\, participants are divided into groups in which all participants have read the assigned papers\, and time will be distributed to group discussions on how to improve the paper. The paper development tracks will be of particular interest and value to young scholars. An experienced scholar will be assigned to each group. \nThe conference program will also feature keynote speeches with prominent scholars. \n\nImportant dates\nSubmission of full abstract 31 Jan\, 2022 (900 words; no formal structure requirement)\nSubmission of full papers – April 27\, 2022\nEarly registration – Before March 15\, 2022\nLatest registration – April 27\, 2022 \n\nOrganizers\nThe Entrepreneurship & Organisation Research Group\, SDU

SUMMARY:ECSB Webinar with Prof. Monder Ram: "Critical engagement in diversity and entrepreneurship: Insights from the Centre for Research in Ethnic Minority Entrepreneurship"
DESCRIPTION:The seismic effects of COVID-19\, Black Lives Matter and Brexit have exposed endemic racial inequalities in the UK. Policy responses are mixed but encouraging entrepreneurship amongst ethnic minority communities is likely to form part of the solution. For 20 years\, the Centre for Research in Ethnic Minority Entrepreneurship (CREME) has operated at the intersection of debates on inequality and enterprise\, and worked with practitioners to ‘make a difference’. CREME’s modus operandi is to promote change with practitioners whilst pursuing theoretically informed research. This talk presents insights from the many shades of engagement that characterise CREME’s work—from stakeholder consultation on conventional research projects to the creation of new ventures to support for migrant businesses. \nAbout the speaker:\nProfessor Monder Ram OBE is the Director of the Centre for Research in Ethnic Minority Entrepreneurship (CREME) at the Aston University. He is a leading authority on small business and ethnic minority entrepreneurship research and has published widely on the subject\, and has extensive experience of working in and acting as a consultant to small and ethnic minority businesses. Monder is a regular keynote speaker at international conferences\, and advises the government on the importance and value of ethnic minority businesses through his position on the APPG for BAME Business Owners.

SUMMARY:ECSB Webinar "Entrepreneurship by design: a pedagogy of making for entrepreneurial education"
DESCRIPTION:Entrepreneurship by Design is a pedagogic approach to entrepreneurship education to help transform creative ideas and early-stage business concepts into viable products and services. The approach also helps designers\, inventors\, and developers adopt an entrepreneurial mindset to identify business opportunities when creating new products and technology solutions through a unique mix combining design and business development toolkits. The method aims to help both groups to reduce the gap between ideas and markets. On the entrepreneurs’ side\, the gap typically originates around either lack of sufficient user research and experimentation or deficiency in design skills. On the designers’ side\, the gap is due to the inability to identify business opportunities arising from the design process itself. The proposed method develops around a framework that combines the following ingredients:\n1. Empathy and Human-Centered Design\n2. Entrepreneurial Creativity as ambivalent mindset and collective intelligence\n3. The development of Makers’ skills grounded on prototyping and effectuation mentality\n4. Design Science: the importance of product aesthetics and the understanding of how much complexity the users want \nHuman-Centered Design help entrepreneurs find the right balance between the desirability\, technical feasibility\, and business viability of a product. Entrepreneurial Creativity supports ways to find meaningful and attractive problems and to hone creative skills through apparently inconsistent behaviors. Prototyping will push entrepreneurs outside of their comfort zone to validate their ideas or change them based on higher awareness of technical and user constraints. It will also foster an experiential approach towards entrepreneurship. Finally\, Design Science help entrepreneurs to become aware of the importance of good Design and aesthetics to improve user experience. \nSpeaker\nDr. Luca Iandoli is Associate Dean for Global and Online Programs at St. John’s University\, College of Professional Studies\, and an Professor in the Division of Computer Science\, Mathematics\, and Science. He has published +150 papers on the analysis of interfirm collaboration\, collective intelligence in online networks\, and digital entrepreneurship\, serving as a member of the editorial board of several academic journals. Dr. Iandoli’s current research focus is on collective intelligence\, interaction design\, and product aesthetics\, and their application to the development of innovative products and entrepreneurial opportunities. \nThe webinar is open to ECSB & ISBE members.

SUMMARY:PDW “Please make me whole again – How to practice sustainable entrepreneurship research”
DESCRIPTION:ECSB offers an online Professional Development Workshop “Please make me whole again – How to practice sustainable entrepreneurship research” on 15 March 2022 at 10:00-12:00 CET. \nThe PDW is open to ECSB & ISBE members. Register by 11 March via the link available at the bottom of the page. If you do not have a valid ECSB members\, to join ECSB\, visit: https://ecsb.org/join-ecsb/. To join ISBE: visit https://isbe.org.uk/about-us/how-to-join/. \nPDW Description\nPDW Chairs: Sarah Dodd (Strathclyde University) and Friederike Welter (University of Siegen) \nBackground: Sustainability and entrepreneurship have been uneasy bedfellows through much of our short discipline history. Enterprise has been seen largely as a global driver for economic growth\, and for the creation of financial value through new industries and ventures. Yet our ever-present critical chorus has made considerable progress in recent years\, too\, towards sustainable entrepreneurship. This reminds us that so much of real value cannot be measured in dollars and cents\, and that entrepreneurship has the potential to be a sustaining\, stewarding\, re-energizing\, joyful\, creative force\, too. We have come to celebrate and study the smaller scale\, the frugal\, the locally responsive and embedded – a human and humane entrepreneurship which nourishes resources instead of draining them. \nBut what about us as entrepreneurship scholars? COVID 19 is but one major impact factor amongst many which have\, perhaps ironically\, made our research less sustaining of ourselves\, whilst we simultaneously embrace the principles of sustainable entrepreneurship for other peoples and places. \nWhat can we learn from these new insights\, and these everyday entrepreneurs\, that can be brought into our own practices? How can we transform entrepreneurship research into a practice which also nurtures our passions\, peoples\, and places? How can we\, reflexively\, develop and lead sustainable entrepreneurship scholarship that feeds our own minds\, bodies and souls? How can we ourselves enact and manifest the virtues and values of sustainable entrepreneurship that we strive to understand and promote in the lives of others? How do we cope with the ever-increasing demands of our profession on our worktime\, and the growing volume of outputs to be delivered? How do we engage in self-care? These are some of the questions we want to explore in our PDW. \nWe believe these questions to be of great importance for the future of individual research careers as well as for the academic system as a whole. Research is\, for most of us and most of the times\, a dream career. We are privileged in combining passion and work. On the other hands\, institutional demands and expectations have grown tremendously\, and excellence is anticipated across all three of our missions. The pandemic has highlighted the numerous competing – if not outright conflicting – demands of our research careers. Junior and early career scholars faced difficulties in making the next career step. Those involved in family care juggled too many responsibilities at the same time. All of this had or will have an impact on ourselves\, our research and our professional future. \nTherefore\, we suggest it is time to begin acting more like sustainable entrepreneurs within our own research practice\, learning from our own research results\, and building new ways of being and becoming sustainable entrepreneurship scholars\, including ourselves within that circle of creative care. \nTarget groups: entrepreneurship scholars at different stages of their career\, looking for learning and networking opportunities to apply their research results / advice to entrepreneurs to their own working lives\, and those of the researchers they nurture. \nOutline of the PDW: Participants will be asked to “bring” along with them digital postcards which represent and illustrate their experiences (insights\, learnings and visions) as to what self-sustaining entrepreneurship research might mean to each of them. In groups of 5-6 people\, each participant will have 3 minutes to share these images and insights. \nGroups will then be invited to each co-create a virtual bricolage of self-sustaining entrepreneurship research\, from their postcards and other sources. \nAfter a short break\, the second hour of the workshop will see participants reflecting on themes and patterns emerging from the bricolage gallery. These will be consolidated into a single word co-created cloud\, before participants are challenged to begin outlining a research agenda for this area. \nRegister by 11 March 2022: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUvc-Cqrj8vG9a72f2xYAKNCvFuisgyfibB

SUMMARY:Conducting Experiments in Entrepreneurship Research
DESCRIPTION:This paper development workshop (PDW) aims to support scholars who are working on experiments as a methodology in entrepreneurship research. \nAlthough studies using experimental designs are a great way to establish causal relations\, designing\, conducting\, and analyzing experiments is not an easy undertaking. To support early career scholars in this endeavor\, the University of Groningen Centre of Entrepreneurship (UGCE) organizes a paper development workshop in partnership with the European Council for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ECSB). \nSubmission Deadline – January 7th 2022

SUMMARY:Conducting Research on Eco-innovation and Circular Economy in SMEs
DESCRIPTION:The University of Castilla La Mancha in association with the European Council for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ECSB)\, who co-brands the event\, organizes a two-day conference at the Faculty of Social Sciences in Cuenca Campus with the title “Conducting Research on Eco-innovation and Circular Economy in SMEs” in December 9-10th\, 2021 \nNowadays we are more conscious than ever about the climate change impacts in every dimension of our life and the fact that we are worsening life conditions for future generations.  Therefore\, there is agreement at all levels (policy\, civil society\, business leaders) about the urgent importance of acting to handle environmental challenges. Environmental sustainability refers to the set of corporate behaviours and strategies that “mitigate a firm’s impact on the natural environment\,” which include “implementing products\, processes\, and policies that reduce energy consumption and waste\, us[ing] ecologically sustainable resources\, and employ[ing] environmental management systems” (Walls\, Phan\, & Berrone\, 2011: 73). Along this line\, eco-innovation and circular economy business models are referent behaviours for achieving environmental sustainability. \n\nWe aim it as an interactive event that\, hopefully\, supports our participants in actively making a difference with their work. \nThe Conference will consist of plenary sessions and thematic sessions for the different topics of the papers submitted. These sessions will be held in English. \nWe welcome contributions of conceptual and empirical (qualitative or quantitative) nature. Topics include\, but are not limited to: \n\nEcoinnovation in the transition to a Circular Economy.\nEmbedding circular economy into business models\nSustainable Entrepreneurship\nRegional policies in support to a Circular Economy transition.\nSustainability in Higher Education- educational formats\nSustainability and new technologies (AI\, digitalization\, …)\nCircular economy progress across different sectors\nBehavioural economics for environmental sustainability\n\nIMPORTANT DEADLINES: \n\nExtended Abstract submission: until 5th November\, 2021\nAnnouncement of accepted abstracts: November 12th\, 2021.\nRegistration: from 12-19th November 2021.\nConference dates: December 9th afternoon) -10th (morning)\, 2021.\n\nThe conference will be presential\, but we will organize it so that interested researchers can also participate online via Teams meetings.

SUMMARY:Leuphana Transformational Entrepreneurship Days
DESCRIPTION:Facing the grand challenges of the 21st century\, society needs to change quickly to secure our future. While this requires collective and political action\, actors such as entrepreneurs can also play a key role in addressing these grand challenges. With the rise of environmental\, social and sustainable entrepreneurship\, it becomes clear that many entrepreneurs nowadays aim to make a positive impact on society. As researchers\, educators and supporters of practice\, we strive to help them to achieve exactly this: a societal impact which contributes to solving the grand challenges of our time. If creating societal impact is part of our aspiration for entrepreneurship\, while also fostering innovative ideas\, we are basically talking about an impact-driven version of entrepreneurship\, as “Transformational entrepreneurship is to promote enterprise and entrepreneurship through a systemic approach\, bringing about transformation in socio-economic development.” (Maas & Jones\, 2019\, p. 4). \n\n\n\nCreating societal impact through entrepreneurship research\, education and practice\n\nCreating positive impact is a challenging endeavour. Impact is difficult to fully understand\, to examine in-depth and to measure (Gupta et al.\, 2020) – and even harder to create. Nevertheless\,  entrepreneurial efforts are often fuelled by this ‘paradox’: “entrepreneurs lack the knowledge\, skills\, authority\, and resources necessary to resolve grand challenges – in fact\, these deficiencies\, plus the absence of enforcing governance despite the scale of the challenges\, should suppress their motivation to engage – and yet these challenges entice collective action from diverse actors” (Markmann\, 2019\, p. 372). With the Leuphana Transformational Entrepreneurship Days\, we aim to shed light on this paradox and support entrepreneurs and facilitators by creating knowledge via research\, by introducing these concepts into educational formats\, and by promoting academia-practitioner collaborations. Thus\, through empowering researchers and students as well as societal stakeholders we aim to foster impact\, supporting an actual transformation of society in a three-day event: \n21.-23.9.2021 – each day 9.00-12.30\, CEST/MESZ \nWith this online event\, hosted by the Leuphana University of Lüneburg (Germany) and co-branded by the European Council for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ECSB)\, we support the transformation of society through entrepreneurship. These dates present the kick-off to establishing the Entrepreneurship Days as an annual event – bringing together the diversity of entrepreneurship researchers and facilitators from all over Europe in a virtual environment. We can currently offer this event free of charge\, hence there are no fees for facilitators or participants as this event is supported by the project “Multilateral Scouting Processes for Innovation and Career”\, funded by the European Fund for Regional Development (EFRE) and the federal state of Lower Saxony and situated at the Leuphana University’s Cooperation Service with Prof. Markus Reihlen as the scientific project leader. \nThis is a three-day event with a different topic headlining each (half) day. Participants can then choose between several parallelly running workshops each treating the subject from a different angle. According to each day’s headlining topic\, workshop facilitators offer impulses for fostering societal impact of entrepreneurship research (day 1)\, entrepreneurship education (day 2)\, and entrepreneurship practice/transfer (day 3)\, working together with the participants\, on further creating impact. \n\n\nCall for Impact Development Workshops\n\nTo foster transformational entrepreneurship creating positive societal impact\, we call for Impact Development Workshops (IDWs). IDWs are workshops to collaboratively work together and share ideas about creating impact. IDWs need to have a strong orientation on impact and a good understanding of the target group. Participants in these workshops should not be passive recipients\, but should take an active part in order to ensure an insightful learning process. Accordingly\, these workshops are not supposed to be presentations of papers. Of course\, the IDWs provide chances for building a network and community of impact-driven entrepreneurship scholars. Please find our Call for Workshops here: \n\nCall for Impact Development Workshops\nSubmission Template (Word)\nSubmission Template (PDF)\n\nDeadline for submission is the 3rd of August 2021. \n\n\n\nContact\n\nPlease direct your questions and requests to entrepreneurshipdays@leuphana.de to ensure that we can best support you in a timely manner.

SUMMARY:ESU 2021 Conference and Doctoral Program
DESCRIPTION:ESU CONCEPT \nThe aim of ESU is to strengthen European research traditions and networks in entrepreneurship by focusing on both scholarly sessions as well as on the culture and heritage the hosting country and region has to offer. \nESU also provides a friendly setting for junior scholars to interact and build ties within the research community\, and to learn important skills for their future careers. Supervisors\, researchers and PhD students from international institutions\, active in entrepreneurship research and education\, come together to share experiences and create new international networks\, in a friendly environment. \nESU Doctoral Program is organized in the following format: \nPlenary sessions on specific topics with keynote speakers who will inspire you and invite critical reflection on a variety of topics related to entrepreneurship: interesting topics\, innovative methodologies\, publication process\, among other. \nGroup discussions and presentations where you will have the opportunity to present your work\, discuss the work from peers and receive feedback from experienced scholars. \nThere will be three groups for the doctoral program: \n\nEarly stage group: Students in this group have not started their PhD studies or are in their first year. They present their research proposals.\nWork in progress group: Students in this group are in the middle of their PhD studies and will present their early phase research.\nMature group: Students in this group have completed their PhD research and will present their results papers.\n\nParticipating in the ESU Doctoral Program and all its tasks grants you up to 6 ECTS. Please consult the detailed overview of tasks in this link: Syllabus Hybrid program. \nIn addition to the Doctoral Program\, the ESU Conference offers regular conference tracks open to all attendees. All the presentations will take place on Conference Day\, Wednesday September 1. In particular\, we invite submissions from: \n\nPostdocs: they hold a postdoctoral position. They are invited to present their own paper and perform as a discussant in conference sessions. They may also be invited to act as junior coaches for PhD students\, and they have some dedicated group presentations.\nProfessors: they hold an academic position (permanent or on tenure track). They are invited to present their own paper in conference sessions. They may be invited as senior coaches for PhD students in the group sessions and act\, in some cases\, as keynote in plenary sessions.\n\nFORMAT \nDue to the uncertain circumstances created by the pandemic\, the format of ESU 2021 is being defined following closely the information released daily about the pandemic. Currently\, the organizers are exploring the possibility of organizing the conference in a hybrid format: a limited number of participants who are willing and are allowed to be present in Groningen\, The Netherlands\, will attend ESU in person on site; the participants who are not willing or are not allowed to travel to Groningen but would still like to participate in ESU 2021 will follow the program online. \nCOLLABORATION WITH ECSB \nESU 2021 has the support of the European Council for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ECSB). Every year\, ESU hands out a best paper award per Doctoral program group. The winners of the best paper award (the first author of each paper) receive a one-year PhD membership at ECSB\, which grants access to the network and to the different initiatives organized throughout the year such as webinars\, paper development workshops\, and access to information about the network’s main conferences. \nIMPORTANT DATES \nApril 16: Deadline for abstract submissions\nJuly 4: Deadline for full paper submission\nJuly 15: Deadline for early bird registration \nABSTRACT SUBMISSION \nFor both Doctoral Program and Conference: max. 500 words abstracts\, single spaced\, Times New Roman 12pt\, capitalized first letters in title\, no more than ten words in title\, no reference list. Since all abstracts are reviewed using a double-blind review process\, it is compulsory that neither names nor contact details appear on the text (besides in the appropriate fields of the template). \nA template of the abstract is available here (Abstract Template)\, and we ask you to use it for your submission. \nPlease send your abstract by email to: entrepreneurship@rug.nl

SUMMARY:Conducting Experiments in Entrepreneurship Research Second Paper Development Workshop for Early-Career Scholars
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE WORKSHOP\nExperimental designs provide a powerful lens to determine causality and have been labeled “the most rigorous of all research designs”. However\, relatively few entrepreneurship studies use an experimental design. Recently\, several calls have been made for more experimental studies in entrepreneurship research. \nIn this online paper development workshop (PDW)\, we aim to support scholars who are working on experiments as a methodology in entrepreneurship research. \nAlthough studies using experimental designs are a great way to establish causal relations\, designing\, conducting\, and analyzing experiments is not an easy undertaking. To support early career scholars in this endeavor\, the University of Groningen Centre of Entrepreneurship (UGCE) organizes a paper development workshop in partnership with the European Council for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ECSB). In this workshop\, we aim to support and bring together early career scholars who are working with experimental designs in entrepreneurship research. \nSUBMISSIONS\nTo apply for participation in the workshop\, please submit your work until January 20th\, 2021.  \nThe workshop welcomes two types of submissions:\nA. Full working paper: studies that have been fully carried out and the paper is at the writing\nstage.\nB. Design stage papers: studies at the methodological design phase. \nSee more information on the call as well as the workshop website.

SUMMARY:EE Explore on Unsettling Entrepreneurship Education
DESCRIPTION:EE Explore is a series of online events in entrepreneurship education organized jointly with ECSB and Engage\, the host of 3E2021 Conference. \nThis event will build on a recent Special Issue in Entrepreneurship Education & Pedagogy (EE&P)\, vol. 3\, issue 3. A link to the SI https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2515127420921480 \nIn this Special Issue\, authors reflect on and resist the tendency to see students as consumers with the ‘right’ to take part in entrepreneurship education and to effectively shape their enterprising selves. The necessity to keep on reflecting on unsettling entrepreneurship education became apparent also through the ongoing present-day Covid-19 crisis\, which suddenly changed the pedagogical scene and put forward the need to move our pedagogical aspirations of unsettling to a digital platform and online teaching. To frame the need for continuous reflection\, we suggest that this crisis can teach us something as valuable as ‘standing still’\, and can help us to reconsider what kind of entrepreneurial society we build together with our students via entrepreneurship education. Perhaps there is a need not to unsettle but rather ‘resettle’ society\, and entrepreneurship education\, into a new direction? \nThe facilitators will be Karin Berglund\, Ulla Hytti & Karen Verduijn.  \nRegistration deadline: Monday 25th January 2021 (by 11.30 pm CET) \nRegistration link: https://www.eventbrite.fi/e/ee-explore-unsettling-entrepreneurship-education-registration-132944439397 \nWhen registering\, please indicate what you would like to bring and/or take from the workshop\, thank you.

SUMMARY:RENT XXXIV online
DESCRIPTION:Due to COVID-19 the conference will take place in virtual format. \nConference theme: “Entrepreneurship in the Digital Era” \nDigital entrepreneurship is defined as creating new ventures and transforming existing businesses by developing novel digital technologies and/or adopting a novel usage of such technologies. The increasingly digitalized environment has led to a changed living situation characterized by economic growth\, job creation and innovation\, and opened new possibilities to train the next generation of entrepreneurs creating new possibilities for anyone thinking of becoming an entrepreneur. Several entrepreneurial practice and theory have recently been identified and streams of research that deal with digital entrepreneurship have been identified\, including everything that is new and different about entrepreneurship in a digital world\, as digital business models\, digital entrepreneurship process\, platform strategies\, digital ecosystem\, entrepreneurship education\, digital academic entrepreneurship and social digital entrepreneurship. With its empirical and conceptual advances\, entrepreneurship research has created an impetus that has changed a simple phenomenon into an autonomous field with its theoretical background. Join us at RENT 2020 in Naples\, in advancing the field of entrepreneurship by discussing and challenging digitalization as a cornerstone of the entrepreneurship theory. \nKEYNOTE SPEAKERS\nGabriella Colucci\, President & CEO Arterra Bioscience S.p.A.\, CEO Vitalab S.r.l.\nSatish Nambisan\, Nancy and Joseph Keithley Professor of Technology Management\, Professor of Design & Innovation\, The Weatherhead School of Management\, Case Western Reserve University \nSubmission deadline is June 17\, 2020\nCall for papers

SUMMARY:PDW: Developing Responsible and Sustainable Innovations in Entrepreneurship Education – Introducing the Sandbox Approach
DESCRIPTION:Professional Development Workshops (PDWs) are workshops to share knowledge and expertise and foster practical\, professional and intellectual skills of participants. PDWs were included in the RENT pre-conference day programme for the first time in RENT XXIX in Zagreb 2015. The concept proved to be successful and PDWs have been part of the pre-conference day since then. Due to COVID-19\, ECSB will offer to its members virtual PDWs in 2020-2021.  \nVirtual PDW: Developing Responsible and Sustainable Innovations in Entrepreneurship Education – Introducing the Sandbox Approach on 11 November 2020 (the date TBC)\nOrganisers\nVerena Meyer\, PhD Student and Research Associate\, Leuphana University of Lüneburg\, Institute of Management and Organization – verena.meyer@leuphana.de\nFlavio Pinheiro Martins\, Student at University of Sao Paulo\, School of Economics\, Business Administration and Accounting at Ribeirão Preto – fpmartins@usp.br\nProf. Dr. Markus Reihlen\, Vice President (Graduate School\, Young Academics & Entrepreneurship) and Professor of Strategic Management at Leuphana University of Lüneburg as well as International Research Fellow at the Said Business School\, University of Oxford – reihlen@leuphana.de\nFabian Pleß\, PhD Student and Research Associate\, Leuphana University of Lüneburg\, Institute of Management and Organization – fabian.pless@leuphana.de\nYasmin Azim Zadeh\, Research Associate\, Leuphana University of Lüneburg\, Cooperation and Transfer Service – azimzade@leuphana.de \nAbstract\nAs entrepreneurship educators\, we typically bring together students as entrepreneurial teams and let them work on their own ideas. But how could we get these students to tackle global challenges and develop sustainable ideas? One key mechanism is open innovation. To make use of this\, entrepreneurship education concepts need to bridge the perspectives of multiple stakeholders. Developing innovation communities within a framework of an open innovation process presents a suitable approach with a possible long-term impact in this regard. The ‘Sandbox Approach’ combines a structured open innovation process while fostering an innovation community which is enabled to solve regional challenges. In this professional development workshop\, participants will experience the ‘Sandbox Approach’ at first hand and develop comprehensive concepts for their common challenges. \nWorkshop Objectives \n\nIntroduce the Sandbox Approach\nExperience the efficiency of structured open innovation processes as well as how innovation communities function by accounting for a multitude of perspectives\nReflect on challenges that hinder innovativeness in everyday work and develop first ideas and more comprehensive solutions for these challenges\nDiscuss ideas to combine open innovation processes with innovation communities and reflecting on one’s own role within these processes/communities\nReflect on own roles as researchers and educators to foster responsible and sustainable innovation\nDiscuss the transfer of this learning experience to other contexts in which sustainable innovations within certain constraints are crucial\n\nMain audience\nThe workshop offers insights from the field of innovation to offer a broadening of perspectives. The main content of this workshop best aligns with conference tracks #2 (How to develop entrepreneurial skills? The role of education) and #7 (Entrepreneurship education\, learning\, and knowledge dissemination)\, but also strives towards an integration of concepts from tracks #16 and #17\, as social and sustainable entrepreneurship are also relevant perspectives in the workshop context. As such\, the workshop can be of interest to the broad RENT community. \n

SUMMARY:ECSB Webinar with Mauri Laukkanen on Causal mapping
DESCRIPTION:Causal (aka cognitive) mapping methods provide an accessible approach to exploring social actors’\, e.g.\, entrepreneurs’\, knowledge and belief systems (mental models)\, known to significantly influence respective behaviours. The webinar is an introduction to the conceptual basis and methods of causal mapping\, in particular comparative causal mapping (CCM) using CMAP3\, a dedicated (free) CCM application. The webinar’s topics are: \n\nConceptual underpinnings and methodological issues in causal mapping.\nMain variants of causal mapping.\nCCM in practice: data elicitation\, processing and analysis using CMAP3.\nUsing CCM: revealing micro entrepreneurs’ and small business advisors’ core beliefs.\nPotential research topic/types for CCM.\n\nSpeaker:\nMauri Laukkanen is Professor emeritus at the University of Eastern Finland’s Business School\, Kuopio Campus. He received his PhD (DBA) at the Helsinki School of Economics in 1989. He served at the HSE (now Aalto University Business School) and the Universities of Vaasa and Jyväskylä before UEF\, where he contributed to founding the Department of Business/Business School and headed it in 1995-2002. His research and publications focus on entrepreneurship education and counselling\, local economic development\, managerial cognition and causal mapping methods\, which he is currently using to understand the evolution of nascent micro entrepreneurs’ belief systems.

SUMMARY:III Paper Development Seminar --> POSTPONED TO AUTUMN 2020
DESCRIPTION:This 3rd edition of the Paper Development Seminar (3PDS) will be held in Seville in April 2020. The 3PDS aims at helping the participants to develop their research into manuscripts appropriate for submission to top-level academic journals. To achieve this objective\, the seminar will include the participation of renowned scholars specialized in entrepreneurship\, who will present some of their most recent research on the analysis of the entrepreneurial process\, as well as reviewing and commenting on the papers/proposals sent by the participants. These are scholars holding key positions (editor in chief\, associate editor) at top-level journals (JCR or similar). \nPapers / proposals applying a process perspective to entrepreneurship are welcome. The term “entrepreneurial process” describes a variety of stages ranging from the consideration of a possible start-up to the consolidation of the firm. Several models have identified a series of phases that end up with the creation/growth of a new venture (cf. DeTienne\, 2010). Reynolds and White (1997) consider the entrepreneurial process as consisting of four distinct phases — conception (potential entrepreneurs)\, gestation (nascent entrepreneurs)\, infancy (fledging new firms)\, and adolescence (established new firms). Korunka et al. (2003)\, in turn\, refer to the entrepreneurial process as one that begins with the nascent entrepreneur and ends with the creation of the new venture. Entrepreneurship is as very complex process (Gartner et al.\, 2004). Taking the process view\, entrepreneurship presents dynamic behaviours experimented under certain environmental conditions where opportunities and business ideas come from (Jack and Anderson\, 2002). We are open to any contributions to analysing the entrepreneurial process\, may they be conceptual or empirical and\, in this latter case\, using quantitative (ideally longitudinal but also cross-sectional) and/or qualitative methods. \nSubmissions will be peer reviewed. Those deemed of highest potential by the organizing committee will be invited to participate. Selected participants will be offered the opportunity to submit a full paper (if they did not do so initially). Extended abstracts may also be presented at the seminar. The objective is to develop a productive and intimate work environment. For this reason\, we will limit the number of proposals/papers to be presented\, to a maximum of 20. \nDeadline for submissions: 15 December 2019.\nCall for papers\, incl. submission instructions\, draft programme\, keynote speakers
