An opportunity to discover interesting new research, and SBEJ editors’ feedback thereupon. The goals are to engage with the community of entrepreneurship scholars; discuss emerging topics, issues and priorities; share tacit knowledge; and give feedback to young researchers in the spirit of a paper development workshop (but this is not a job market networking event).

Topics should be broadly aligned with the main research areas of ‘Small Business Economics’: Entrepreneurship and the economics of small business; new venture creation; self-employment; family firms; small and medium-sized enterprises; innovative startups; entrepreneurial finance; and so on.

SETUP:

  • Attendance is open to presenters and non-presenters
  • Presenters must be Early Career Researchers: PhD students, post-docs, or junior faculty
  • Presenters get ~ 12 minutes each: 10 mins to present, 2 mins Q&A/discussion (mainly Q, no A)
  • SBEJ editors give feedback via mic or chat, non-presenters give feedback via chat (& perhaps mic)
  • The Zoom chat window log file will be distributed afterwards

The event is expected to last for 2 hours, with a minimum 3-5 SBEJ editors attending at any time
