■Date： September 10th - 11th, 2015 (2 Day Program)
*Doctoral Workshop is to be held on September 10 (the 1st day)
as one of the Breakout Sessions.
■Venue： 6F and 7F, No. 3 Building, Waseda Campus, Waseda University, Access
■Theme： Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Innovation
Sustainable Development is defined as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs" and has been a main theme in the last two decades. Now we
need a new step to promote sustainable development in the next decade. Social entrepreneurship is expected to tackle
challenges for sustainable development and take the sustainability initiative. Sustainable/social innovation creates new
social values through businesses which tackle social and environmental problems with a view to their resolution.
To create a new innovation, we need to build and promote collaboration among social business, big business, NGO,
local people, government, and academia, and to make a institutional environment to enhance new businesses.
We will discuss various issues and challenges on the theme of "Entrepreneur and Sustainable Innovation". The
conference welcomes papers on the following (but not limited to) research topics:
Social Entrepreneurship, Sustainable/Social Innovation, Innovation Management, Partnership among Sectors,
Regional Development, Sustainable Consumption and Production, Social Marketing.
General topics on business and society are also welcome.
