The Sustainability, Ethics, & Entrepreneurship (SEE) Conference is most
likely the only conference that triangulates SEE-related domains by
explicitly attracting multidisciplinary scholars from diverse disciplines
(e.g., management, finance, accounting, supply chain, marketing,
sociology, economics, political science, public policy, etc.). This
cross-disciplinary effort is important because, to put it simply, how many
individuals, organizations, communities, or countries could survive in the
absence of oxygen production, fresh water supply, or fertile soil?
The fact that ethics and sustainability are intertwined with the concept
of entrepreneurship is no longer new. Indeed, ethical choices are critical
in 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 SEE Conference, then, is a platform for scholars to showcase their
best research, theories, and practice related to SEE-related topics.
In addition to competitive paper presentations, the 2013 SEE Conference
will also feature:
A) Keynote speakers who are thought leaders including Jay Barney
(Presidential Professor of Strategic Management at the University of
Utah); Tom Lumpkin (The Chris J. Witting Chair in Entrepreneurship, the
Whitman School of Management, Syracuse University); Bruce Hutton (Dean
Emeritus and Director of Ethics Integration, University of Denver); and
Auden Schendler (VP of Sustainability, Aspen Skiing Company).
B) The Journal of Management Studies’ (JMS) Young Scholar Development
Workshop (April 10 to 11, 2013). Funding to partially defray travel and
accommodation expenses to attendees is a result of gracious funding from
the society for the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies
(SAMS) and JMS.
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.
For topic information, visit our website:

There is no registration fee; however, submitting an abstract signifies a
commitment that at least one of the authors will participate in the
conference. Submitting an abstract also represents a commitment that the
featured ideas are original and come from unpublished working papers.
Finally, the conference is limited to 120 attendees; about 24 manuscripts;
and 12 posters.
Thanks to the Kauffman Foundation, Journal of Management Studies, and
other contributions, the SEE Conference will provide meals and beverages
to all participants. The SEE Conference will also pay the hotel and/or
travel costs for selected Ph.D. students and Assistant Professors. We
will issue more detail on this on the SEE website.
SUBMITTING ABSTRACT(S)
The following suggestions are provided in response to frequent questions
on how to improve the chances that an abstract will be accepted.
The conference reviewers are members of the SEE’s Advisory Board and a
group of ad-hoc reviewers. Every abstract is evaluated by 2-4 reviewers.
While each reviewer makes independent judgments, there are some common
threads that distinguish accepted from rejected abstracts:
• Abstracts that open up new research frontiers or offer new
insights or perspectives that enrich discussion and discourse.
• Abstracts that address unimpeachably important, timely, and
relevant topics.
• Abstracts where SEE-related research has clear conceptual and/or
practical implications.
• It is helpful to state the current stage of data collection and
when you expect to complete the data collection and analysis.
• The reviewers consider the potential for completion of the work
described in the abstract.
• Reviewers assume that authors of accepted abstracts entered with
good faith and expect that the research will be competently completed
before the conference.
• Do not include references, tables, and the like in the abstract.
Also your name or contact information should NOT appear anywhere in the
document.
