2009 Paper Submission-Closed
If you have a late paper submission please contact Carolyn Oates at coates@swin.edu.au Paper Submission for the 2009 AGSE International Entrepreneurship Research Exchange is now closed. All abstracts are double blind reviewed by an international Panel of reviewers and were accepted or rejected. An accepted 2009 Conference abstract guaranteed you acceptance into the conference and to present an Oral Presentation at the 6th AGSE International Entrepreneurship Research Exchange, February 3-6, 2009 All full paper manuscripts received will be double blind reviewed by an international panel of reviewers. Once the double-blind review process is completed, you will then receive a confirmation and result of the review. These papers will then be acknowledged in the Proceedings as double-blind peer reviewed. As in the past, each reviewer will grade the paper for a scheduled oral 30 min. presentation at the Conference. All such reviewed papers will be published electronically as Conference Proceedings (with ISBN number) and a disc of the Proceedings presented to each participant on registration at the Conference. For participants from Australian Universities with papers that attract DEEWR points, it will be possible to advise on the review outcome by 30 November for full papers received by 23rd October 2008. Because the Conference is to facilitate discussion on the latest ‘research-in-progress', it is possible that some authors may find it impossible to complete full papers by the advertised dates. On a case by case basis, a number of opportunities will be given to authors to present their latest findings at the Conference and who had their abstracts accepted but are unable to complete their papers in full by the designated dates. In these cases only the peer reviewed abstract will be included on the Proceedings disc. A select set of the full papers will be published subsequent to the Conference that represents Conference themes and outstanding scholarship. Presenters will also need to submit a 100 word biography in the format shown in the sample.

Conference Streams The Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship primarily sponsors the Exchange to facilitate the dissemination of research information and act as a mechanism to promote serious study of entrepreneurship. Efforts to assemble the most current work in entrepreneurial research includes: a wide circulation of the call for papers by encouraging research that crosses disciplinary lines, involves joint efforts between academics and practitioners promoting a diversity of perspectives that may contributes to the understanding of entrepreneurial phenomena
The dissemination of research takes place through the Exchange itself, and encourages researchers to present their current work to interested colleagues, by publishing the papers and summaries each year in REGIONAL FRONTIERS, and by providing a CD Rom of all papers presented. Dissemination and encouragement of research are facilitated by limiting attendance at the Conference to those with an active focus on research. The conference program will involve a number of parallel streams. These can only be finally determined when all the abstracts have been received. However, the following topics are a guideline of which areas are most likely to be covered during the conference: - Corporate entrepreneurship and innovation
- Entrepreneurship theory and practice
- Entrepreneurship Education
- GEM (Global Entrepreneurship Monitor)
- Gender issues in entrepreneurship
- Global issues
- Growth and leadership
- Human capital
- Indigenous entrepreneurship
- Networks and policy
- Social entrepreneurship
- Strategy, markets and management
- Technological innovation and new technology spin-off ventures
- Venture capital, creation & development
- Foresight, innovation and entrepreneurship
