Competitive Research Papers (Instructions)

• The Competitive Research Papers Track is designed for researchers who have completed theoretical and empirical manuscripts focusing on various entrepreneurship-related topics.  Work in this category should be established and complete, not in development.  In addition to presenting their findings, we ask that during the presentation, scholars discuss how the findings directly translate to impact by informing the teaching and learning of entrepreneurship.

Emerging Research Papers (Instructions)

• The Emerging Research Paper Track is for researchers who are in the early stages of a research project. Presenters of accepted submissions in this category will need to prepare a brief abstract, provide their research question and research/theoretical framework and methodology, as well as be able to discuss contributions to entrepreneurship research. They also should be prepared to receive critical and developmental feedback on the next steps of their research.
