European Conference on Entrepreneurship Research

This year’s conference topic: Change. The New Face of Entrepreneurship

The forthcoming 14th edition of the IECER Entrepreneurship Conference in Chur, Switzerland (7-9 September 2016) is all about change. Digital technologies are transforming industrial and service-oriented economies. Signs of change are anywhere: New business models evolve that are based on other people's resources. Entrepreneurs more and more coordinate than produce or deliver products. Digital technologies have facilitated the access to geographically remote knowledge sources. Peer-to-peer-markets offer opportunities for firms and individuals to raise capital that have been intermediated by incumbent players for a long time.

MIT-Researcher Peter Gloor as Keynote Speaker

The IECER will focus on many aspects of the rise of the new economy and discuss the opportunities and risks it may bring. We are very happy to announce MIT research scientist Peter Gloor as the keynote speaker for this year's conference. He will talk about his big passion, COINS, Collaborative Innovation Networks and swarm-based collaborative leadership.

Contribute with your research to the IECER 2016 to examine how organisations evolve, innovate, cooperate, change, and grow. We welcome innovative and unique research contributions to better understand the behaviour of firms, industries, individuals and societies in this new context.
