[image: ¤º¸m¹Ï¤ù 1] *CALL FOR ABSTRACTS* ** Sustainability, Ethics and Entrepreneurship (SEE) Conference *Dates:* Thursday-Friday, April 11-12, 2013 *Location:* University of Denver, Denver, CO *Website:* biz.colostate.edu/seeConference Sustainability, ethics, and entrepreneurship (SEE) draw on knowledge from diverse backgrounds. 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, ethical choices are increasingly critical any business activity and a key to 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 and social value. The goal of the conference is to lead the advancement and accumulation of knowledge about SEE-related topics. Authors are invited to *submit abstracts (2 single-spaced pages not exceeding 1,250 words)* that address a broad array of subjects on the topics of sustainability, ethics, and entrepreneurship (SEE). Those selected by a double-blind review process will be asked to present at either paper or poster sessions during the 2013 conference April 11-12. We invite empirical and conceptual Abstracts. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas: - How does strategy differ when firms are not constituted as vehicles of private wealth accumulation but are owned by communities of members or government? - In a capitalist system, wealth and value are measured in monetary units: what is social value, how does to measure social value, and what do social value and economic value interact and shape each other? - Free markets and competition brought many benefits (e.g., the average individual material wellbeing has improved markedly, even if the variance is distressing). How does this increasing but uneven material prosperity relate to human wellbeing, sustainability and entrepreneurship? - How does market competition affect the fabric of trust and social value within and between different organizational forms? - How does one gain better understandings of sustainable and ethical entrepreneurship? - What are most useful conceptual models and empirical analysis of the antecedents, consequences, and contingencies associated with the processes of sustainable and ethical entrepreneurship? - What is the role of ethical behavior in the growth, survival, and sustainability of new ventures? - What are the roles of economic and institutional systems in motivating ethical and sustainable behaviors? *IMPORTANT DEADLINES* *January 8, 2013: Abstract Submission Deadline *February 18, 2013: Acceptance Notification March 1, 2013: Program Published April 11-12, 2013: Conference in Denver, CO Authors can submit their abstracts here: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=see20130 Please visit *biz.colostate.edu/seeConference* for more information.
