[29.2.2012.] IBCSE 2012: International Bilingual Conference on Sustainable Entrepreneurship
Mauritius 22 – 24 November 2012
Entrepreneurship is a growing field and is a dynamic force for economic change. The recent financial crisis has called for renewed discussions on the role of entrepreneurship in an economy. The call to create a sustainable economy is being answered by a new breed of environmental, social, and sustainability-driven entrepreneurs who are looking beyond conventional wisdom about what businesses are for and about, and how they can be run without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Indeed, the ecological dimension of sustainability must be addressed, but change towards sustainability requires rethinking of the values that businesses support, and the setting of a new agenda about how to face entrepreneurs’ challenges in addressing sustainable development issues.
Conference IBCSE2012 – The International Bilingual Conference on Sustainable Entrepreneurship seeks to bring together academicians, researchers, policy makers, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders in the field of entrepreneurship and other relevant fields involving sustainable development. This conference will provide an opportunity for all delegates to establish business or research relations, exchange ideas and experiences, and set an agenda for future collaboration and action, with a view to enhancing the understanding of the sustainable development-entrepreneurship nexus and the emergence of new knowledge.
Thematic orientation
To promote high-quality research and development among stakeholders in the field of sustainable development as it applies to entrepreneurship. 2. To take stock of achievements, to date, in the field of sustainable development in entrepreneurship. 3. To make a contribution to the state of awareness in matters of sustainable practises in entrepreneurship.
Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished research papers, case studies, reviews, and doctoral papers (English and French) within the scope of the conference. Authors should submit an abstract of their work which should not exceed 300 words and should summarize the objectives, methodology, the main findings and implications of the study. Full-length papers not exceeding 6500 words will be blind reviewed. Accepted full-length papers/extended abstract will be published in the conference proceedings. Kindly submit abstracts to Poonam on p.mootooperian@uom.ac.mu
