Dear Colleagues,
We are currently seeking papers for the 2013 "Suzhou-Silicon Valley-Beijing" International Innovation Conference, which will be held in Suzhou, China during July 7-8, 2013. The theme of the conference is Technology Innovation and Diasporas in a Global Era.
Technology
innovation is an important driving force for economic growth and wealth
creation. Diasporas have played significant role in promoting technology
innovation across all walks of life around the world. However, academic
research results are still inadequate and lagging in empirical and theoretical
justifications of the significance of diasporas. This international conference
seeks to improve communications on this topic among the world's scholars with
multi-disciplinary backgrounds, consultants, policy makers and entrepreneurs.
The conference is co-sponsored by School of Information at UC Berkeley, Lucas Graduate School of Business at San Jose State University, Center for Enterprise Innovation and Development at Soochow University (China), and China Institute for Science and Technology Policy at Tsinghua University (China).
We
invite contributions from researchers, educators, managers and students. Contributions
may be conceptual, theoretical, or empirical. They should document research
activity, case studies or best practices, shedding light on theory or practice.
