Call for Papers
Network F: KITE - Knowledge, Innovation, Technology and Entrepreneurship
SASE Annual Meeting
9-12 July 2025
Palais des Congrès, Montréal, Québec
"Inclusive Solidarities: Reimagining Boundaries in Divided Times"
FIXED Deadline for Submissions: 16 December 2024
Network F of the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics focuses on innovation and entrepreneurship and their underlying technologies and knowledge sources. We welcome papers from a variety of perspectives, including institutional, strategic, managerial, ethnographic, historical, and behavioural. Papers may be concerned with issues such as the variations of knowledge, innovation, technology and entrepreneurship across cities, regions, and countries. We are also keen to advance research methods, including the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, automated text and visual analyses, other forms of computational analysis, and ethnographic approaches. To advance our understandings, we call for papers asking:
- How have, or how can, innovation policies or programs address grand societal challenges like climate change, rising inequalities, or digitalization?
- Are the politics and policies of innovation, entrepreneurship and digitalization shifting toward new paradigms in the current era? If so, how and why – and with what effects?
- How have innovation and technological developments, as well as entrepreneurship and digitalization affected (or been affected by) national models of capitalism?
- Which institutions shape the emergence of innovation or entrepreneurial ecosystems?
- How do firms' and governments' management and strategic orientations enhance or hinder innovation or entrepreneurship?
- How does the platform economy contribute to or alter the dynamics of innovation?
- Are university-industry linkages changing in character or importance in innovations systems? How, and with what effects?
- What new methods are available to study innovative dynamics? Given that in some nations, regions, or firms, researchers have limited access to the field, are there new models or methods that can be effectively employed to study innovation dynamics?
Our network welcomes proposals for single paper submissions, or for panels. We do not, at this stage, require complete papers to be submitted; all you need to do is submit an extended abstract.
Please submit proposals through this link.
