2nd Conference on Entrepreneurial Financial Management
The Evolution of Capital
Markets and Entrepreneurship
Date: June 14-15, 2018
Location: ESMT Berlin, Schlossplatz 1, 10178 Berlin
Access to financial resources and sound financial management are vital for companies of all sizes. While start-ups enjoy many regulatory exemptions, they also face particular challenges that deserve greater attention from researchers and practitioners. Among others, these include power imbalances and information asymmetries between entrepreneurs and potential investors, limited capabilities for internal finance and accounting functions, as well as challenges in valuing and accounting for intellectual or human capital. Recent developments such as equity crowdfunding or initial coin offerings mitigate some of these challenges, while reinforcing others.
After its successful launch in 2017 (http://www.esmt.org/cfra/efm-2017), the Entrepreneurial Financial Management conference represents a unique transatlantic forum of academics and practitioners, which focuses closely on the interaction of entrepreneurial finance and entrepreneurial accounting. In addition to two days of academic programming, the EFM II conference will feature an afternoon practitioners' session, including a keynote and two panel discussions that highlight current insights from the European and US practitioner community.
For the academic part of the conference, we invite authors to submit high-quality research papers in all areas relating to entrepreneurial finance and entrepreneurial accounting. Both empirical and theoretical submissions are encouraged.
Interested authors are invited to submit full papers to cfra@esmt.org no later than March 15, 2018. The authors will be informed about their paper acceptance for presentation no later than March 30, 2018.
Expenses: We will provide accommodation as well as reimbursement for reasonable travel expenses for presenting authors and discussants.
