    The Sustainability, Ethics and Entrepreneurship (SEE) Conference
    SEE Conference Website: http://biz.colostate.edu/seeConference

    Dates: Thursday-Friday, April 12-13, 2012
    Location: University of Denver, Denver CO
    Reregistration: FREE

    Keynote Speakers:
    Sankaran Venkataraman, MasterCard Professor of Business Administration;
    Research Director, The Batten Institute, Darden School of Business,
    University of Virginia
    Jay Barney, Chase Chair for Excellence in Corporate Strategy and Professor
    of Management & Human Resources; Fisher College of Business, Ohio State
    University
    Tom Dean, Professor of Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Enterprise, Colorado
    State University
    Jim O'Toole, Daniels Distinguished Chair of Business Ethics, University of
    Denver

    Building on the vibrant cohort of scholars in ethics, entrepreneurship, and
    sustainability, the SEE Conference will enable local, national, and
    international researchers to drive the development of these increasingly
    important and rapidly changing areas of study. Sustainability, ethics, and
    entrepreneurship draw on knowledge from diverse, but converging streams of
    research. These include but are not limited to studies on sustainability,
    social entrepreneurship, business ethics, firm-community ties, and
    environment impacts, to name a few. The fact that ethics and sustainability
    are intertwined with the concept of entrepreneurship is no longer new.
    Indeed, many argue that ethical choices are a fundamental aspect of any
    business activity, and critical to sustained success of startups, small
    firms, medium enterprises, and large, multinational corporations. Some even
    suggest that the focus on sustainability, ethics, and entrepreneurship
    triangulates every economic opportunity. The goal of the conference is to
    advance knowledge about SEE-related topics.

    We invite participants to submit abstracts (2-3 page) that address a broad
    array of subjects on the topics of sustainability, ethics, and
    entrepreneurship (SEE). These abstracts will be reviewed by our Advisory
    Board. For potential topics, see our website (SEE Conference)

    Participants of the SEE conference can expect to:
    · Share cutting-edge research, ideas and theories.
    · Foster collaborative research efforts.
    · Build a worldwide network of scholars who advance the state of knowledge
    about SEE.

    There is no registration fee, but participants commit to attend the entire
    event,
    The conference will start with a reception, dinner, and keynote speaker
    (Venkat) on Thursday, April 12.
    On Friday, April 13, there will be a full day of presentations, and three
    keynote speakers (breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks will be provided).
    The conference will end with a dinner and a keynote speaker (Jay Barney).

    ...oops, we just got the formal approval from the Kaufman Foundation!
    Ph.D. students and early-stage Associate Professors are eligible for some financial support (i.e., travel and hotel accommodations).
    We'll stipulate this on the SEE website soon.

    It is longer in length than similar workshops-four days-so that participants enjoy ample time for deliberation and exchange.

    It not only brings together young scholars, but also invited senior scholars, distinguished in the field of public administration and policy, who act as mentors, coaches, and discussants.

    The workshop format is highly intensive as young scholars have an initial presentation, followed by designated individual and group level discussions with senior scholars, and then a final presentation.

    Faculty are assigned to young scholars grouped by sub-fields and concentrations, and engage in group discussions and individual consultations related to their research projects.

    Faculty present their recent works in a relaxed atmosphere, allowing young participants to get fresh experiences on the process of conducting empirical research-from topic choice to reviewing the literature, from framing and analyzing to presenting.

    Senior faculty provide instructional sessions on topics such as "How to Get Published" and "Conducting Research for an International Audience," adapted for the young scholars.

     

    Theme

     

    We welcome research papers and projects on a broad range of public policy and administration issues including, but not limited to, the following:

     

    The response of public policy and administration to post-crisis governance.

    Empirical policy analysis in such specific fields as fiscal, environmental, health, labor, etc.

    Traditional public administration topics, including but not limited to performance management, leadership, human resources and budgeting.

    Aspects of strategic management and collaboration in public sectors.

    The challenge of working across levels of governments and sectors.

    The state of public sector ethics

     

    All research papers and projects must be empirically based. Applications beyond the above illustrative topics will certainly be considered.

     

    Awards

     

    Best Paper Award

    Most Improved Paper Award
