A Call for Papers
Following the successful 2009 conference the Institute for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ISBE) is currently promoting a call for papers for its 33rd annual conference which is set to take place in London on the 3rd & 4th November 2010.
Over the past year ISBE has had made a significant number of changes to the organisation including a new website, the launch of Enterprising Matters - ISBE’s quarterly E-Magazine, the introduction of the Monthly News Bulletin, the instigation of a programme of regional events and the successful award of a £40,000 Research and Knowledge Exchange (RAKE) Fund. In addition to these changes ISBE held its first in-house conference in November 2009 which attracted over 440 delegates and included the presentation of 240 cutting edge research papers.
Looking forward to this year’s conference ISBE is now promoting a call for papers and has cast the net over the subscribers of Enterprise Upfront.
ISBE is inviting you to submit an abstract and share your research, thinking and findings with the delegates of the ISBE 2010 Conference. They welcome Academic Research Papers (either refereed or working), Practitioner Papers and Case Studies for presentation at the Conference. This year, papers are invited for submission to the following tracks:
• Learning for Entrepreneurship & Enterprise Education
• Managing for Regeneration, Sustainability and Growth
