--------------------------------------
The Society of Entrepreneurship Scholars (SES), with the generous support of the Kauffman Foundation, invites you to submit your best work — work you believe will potentially merit publication in a top tier journal — to the 2007 SES Conference and Manuscript Boot-camp. The sole purpose of this conference is to increase the flow of manuscripts about entrepreneurship that are submitted to and published in top tier journals. Papers accepted for the conference will be reviewed in depth by at least two senior scholars who have a history of success publishing in top-tier scholarly journals. These scholars will work with you during three-hour sessions, both individually and in small groups, focusing upon measures that you can take to improve the manuscript and enhance its prospects for publication in a top tier journal.
Some sessions available at the conference will also offer a broader discussion of issues central to the mission of the Society of Entrepreneurship Scholars, enhancing the mainstream visibility of entrepreneurship research.
The anticipated scholar-mentors for the 2007 Conference include, among others;
- Howard Aldrich
- Jay Barney
- Jean Bartunek
- Jeff Covin
- Julio DeCastro
- Elaine Mosakowski
- Dean Shepherd
- William Schulze
- Charles Snow
Between twenty and twenty-five papers will be accepted for the conference. The sole competitive criterion for acceptance is the paper’s perceived potential for publication in top tier journals. Because submitted papers will be judged based upon potential, they may be at any stage of development; i.e., working papers as well as papers that have already been reviewed and rejected by a journal. Papers may be conceptual or empirical. We encourage submissions from faculty in other genres who are interested in publishing about entrepreneurship, as well as from junior faculty and doctoral students in the field of entrepreneurship.
Since the design of the conference restricts the number of participants, only one author (who should identify themselves as the submitting author) will be invited to participate in the conference. You may submit multiple co-authored papers to the conference, but each submitting author must be unique. If the submitting author is unable to attend the conference, the invitation will be withdrawn. Co-authors may not attend in the submitting author’s place. All papers will be blind reviewed.
