*Workshop on Institutional Perspectives in International Business and Entrepreneurship* *30 November - 1 December, Brisbane, Australia* *Invited Keynote:* Dr Jesper Edman, Hitotsubashi University, Japan This workshop aims to bring together researchers working with institutional perspectives in the areas of international business (including International managment) and/or entrepreneurship. Our understanding of ‘institutional perspectives’ is broad and includes (but is not limited to) new institutional theory, structuration perspectives, 'institutional work', comparative institutional analysis, institutional economics, and so on. The workshop goals are to: · Explore the potential of institutional approaches for generating novel insights in conceptual and empirical studies of international business and/or entrepreneurship · Foster an inter-disciplinary exchange of ideas and methods, with a view to building networks continuing conversations among workshop participants · Explore opportunities for practitioner and policy-oriented research in IB and entrepreneurship using institutional perspectives *Dr Jesper Edman *is Associate Professor at Hitostubashi University. His research focuses on how forces of globalization are reshaping national economies.
