Apologies for Cross-Posting
The Network of Leadership Scholars would like to help publicize any PDW sessions that deal with leadership (broadly defined) from any division in the Academy. If you would like information about your workshop to reach the 1,000 members of the LeaderNet listserve, please email me the details at lerskine@ilstu.edu. PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THE ENTIRE LIST!
The Network of Leadership Scholars is a forum for people from varying backgrounds, disciplines, nationalities, and perspectives to come together and share ideas and knowledge regarding emerging theoretical and practical advancements related to the field(s) of leadership. Leadership represents a powerful social concern relative to business and nonprofit organizations, as well as to government, political, and economic issues. Leadership also crosses the divisional and interest group boundaries that exist in the Academy.

CALL FOR APPLICANTS: DOCTORAL STUDENT WORKSHOP
8th WEST COAST RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM
ON TECHNOLOGY ENTREPRENEURSHIP
A one-day Doctoral Student Workshop will be presented in conjunction with the 8th West Coast Research Symposium on Technology Entrepreneurship. The workshop's sponsor is the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.
Event: Doctoral Student Workshop on Technology Entrepreneurship
Location: University of Oregon
Date: 26th of August, 2010 (Research Symposium held on August 27-28)
We invite doctoral students to submit applications to attend this workshop. Sessions will focus on technology entrepreneurship, with an emphasis on contemporary work in the field. The workshop will be led by Riitta Katila, Stanford Univ.; Andrew Nelson and Taryn Stanko, Univ. of Oregon; Sonali Shah, Univ. of Washington; Yan Gong, UCI; and Peer Fiss, USC. Faculty presenters include Kathy Eisenhardt, Stanford Univ.; Suresh Kotha, Univ. of Washington; Alan Meyer, Univ. of Oregon; Nandini Rajagopalan, Univ. of Southern California; Kaye Schoonhoven, UC Irvine; Rosemarie Ziedonis, Univ. of Oregon; and others.
The APPLICATION DEADLINE for the Doctoral Student Workshop is Friday, July 16, 2010. If you wish to be considered, please complete the online application at: https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/skotha/75619
The workshop offers an intellectually stimulating experience, maps the theoretical domain of technology entrepreneurship, and builds community. Workshop participants will have opportunities to present their own research interests, to interact with each other, and to get acquainted with faculty members.
In 2010, the doctoral student workshop will offer two separate tracks.
• Track 1 is designed for doctoral students who have not yet defended a dissertation proposal and who may still be in the process of selecting a dissertation topic. This track will devote attention to the selection of a dissertation topic, research design, and sources of data.
• Track 2 is intended for students who have defended dissertation proposals (or who are close to doing so). This track will devote attention to completing the dissertation, publishing the dissertation, and early career considerations. The two tracks will join together for selected workshop sessions/panels and for all meals.
All students chosen for the workshop will be invited to attend the two-day Research Symposium that follows on August 27-28. The symposium will showcase cutting-edge work by technology entrepreneurship researchers from the West Coast and around the world. Details on the research symposium are available at the WCRS website: http://theWCRS.org. Each student attendee will be provided with a $250 travel stipend, as well as all meals and 3 nights lodging (double occupancy). Applicants focusing on the nexus of technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship will be given preference.
The location is the beautiful Pacific Northwest, a spectacular setting at this time of year. This is a great opportunity for doctoral students to learn from leading scholars and contemporary work in the field.
We hope to see you in Eugene!
