Introduction
West Coast Research Symposium on Technology Entrepreneurship, Seattle, 10-11 Sep 2015; Deadline 8 Jun
13th WEST COAST RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM ON TECHNOLOGY ENTREPRENEURSHIP
SEPTEMBER 10 – 11, 2015
Theme: Technology Entrepreneurship
Location: University of Washington, Seattle Campus
Date: September 10 – 11, 2015
We invite authors to submit papers to our research symposium, a lively forum for the exchange of ideas among scholars interested in technology entrepreneurship. The 2015 conference will be held at the Foster School of Business, University of Washington, in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, a spectacular setting at this time of year.
Papers focusing on entrepreneurship and innovation in technology-based settings will be given preference. In addition to our broad focus on technology entrepreneurship, for 2015 we especially encourage submissions from authors examining strategy in nascent markets (i.e., ecosystem and platform industries, emergence of technologies, categories, and industries) and emerging entrepreneurship-related phenomena such as crowdfunding.
We expect to host an intimate conference of 40+ leading scholars from around the world. The conference steering committee invites the submission of unpublished working papers that advance the state of knowledge on the above topics. Conference registration and meals are complementary. A doctoral consortium sponsored by the Kauffman Foundation will precede the conference on Wednesday, September 9, 2015.
The DEADLINE for submitting papers is Monday June 8, 2015.
Please submit papers online at the WCRS conference website:
We hope to see you in Seattle this summer!
