Academic conference: November 7 & 8, 2012

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our annual NYU-Stern Conference on Social Entrepreneurship is dedicated to the ongoing
development of theory and research on social entrepreneurship and its impact on
global communities. The aim of the two-day academic conference is to bring together
scholars in social entrepreneurship to discuss emerging concepts and themes in social
entrepreneurship research. Conceptual papers, research papers presenting quantitative
and/or qualitative data are welcome, as well as case studies and practitioner contributions.
Conference themes
Here are several research suggestions that may be interesting and highly provocative,
although abstracts that address other relevant and timely themes of social entrepreneurship
but are not covered below are also welcome:
* Social entrepreneurship process involving opportunity recognition and evaluation
* Organizational forms of social enterprises
* Challenges of scaling and measuring social impact
* Emerging themes in social entrepreneurship education
* Cross-cultural comparative studies in social entrepreneurship
* Research challenges in social entrepreneurship
