The fact that ethics and sustainability are intertwined with the concept of entrepreneurship is no longer new. Indeed, many argue that ethical choices are a fundamental aspect of any business activity, and critical to sustained 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. The goal of the conference is to advance the accumulation of knowledge about SEE-related topics.

We invite participants to submit abstracts (2-3 page) that address a broad array of subjects on the topics of sustainability, ethics, and entrepreneurship (SEE). These abstracts will be reviewed by our Advisory Review Board.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to the following areas:

Definitional and conceptual understandings of sustainable and ethical entrepreneurship
Conceptual models and empirical analysis of the antecedents, consequences, and contingencies associated with the processes of sustainable and ethical entrepreneurship.
The role of ethical behavior in the growth, survival, and performance of entrepreneurial ventures.
Antecedents and consequences of unethical behavior in entrepreneurial ventures.
The nature and dimensions of ethical behavior in the entrepreneurial firm.
The role of economic and institutional systems in motivating ethical and sustainable behaviors.
Divergences between economic incentive systems and entrepreneurial action.
The interplay between ethics, sustainability, economic institutions, and entrepreneurial opportunity.
Examination of productive and unproductive entrepreneurship.
