About this Conference
The Batten Institute at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business hosted the inaugural annual conference (organized by Michael Lenox) in 2010. That first event attracted scholars from all over the world and featured a scholarly debate between Jay Barney and Sid Winter. As the conference grew in popularity, Darden partnered with the Academy of Management in hosting the 2012 event, which enabled the program to be streamed live to every continent. After that successful event, the Cambridge Judge Business School joined in 2013 as a co-sponsor alongside Darden. Since then, the event shifted location between the United Kingdom and the United States. In 2018, the University of Hong Kong (HKU) Faculty of Business and Economics (FBE) will join Darden and Cambridge Judge to co-host this event for the first time in Asia. Po-Hsuan Hsu (HKU FBE), Stelios Kavadias (Cambridge Judge), and Jeremy Hutchison-Krupat (Virginia Darden) will serve as the three co-chairs for the 2018 event.
The conference promises to provide a vigorous and lively discussion about current research in the fields of entrepreneurship and innovation from a global perspective. The conference committee also extends an invitation to interested scholars to attend the conference regardless of if a paper is submitted.
