Call For Papers - CFP

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.

ICIE is looking for a broad range of research in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship. We are proposing to structure the event with the following five tracks and below are some suggestions of topics that we feel will fit into these tracks. You will be asked to select which area your submission fits into when you complete the abstract submission form.

? Management of Innovation

? Economics of Innovation and Entrepreneurship

? Innovation and Entrepreneurship for educators

? Innovation and Entrepreneurship in business

? International innovation and Entrepreneurship

? Other topics
