Sorbonne Nouvelle&#160; Universit&#233; Paris III &#8211; UFR DU MONDE ANGLOPHONE&#160;ORGANISED BY CERVEPAS/CREW (EA 4399)16th, 17th, 18h September 2010CALL FOR PAPERSEntrepreneurship is broadening its horizons. Defined as risk-taking, business venturing, value creation, emergence and development of organizations and projects, and recognition and exploitation of opportunity, the entrepreneurial process is widening its scope and blurring boundaries between the profit and nonprofit sectors. A new, largely entrepreneurial spirit of capitalism has developed in the English-speaking world and many other spheres as a proactive response to globalization and social fragmentation. Consonant with the transformations of the economic and political environment, this dynamic of innovation is not exclusively based on the Schumpeterian principle of &#8220;creative destruction.&#8221; It has led economics scholar David Audretsch to put forth the concept of &#8220;the entrepreneurial society&#8221; to account for this new, widely encompassing, network-based trend. Entrepreneurial activity may shape and structure the way people live together in society and share common values and representations. It may also be instrumental in the construction of specific forms of social ties, which would be strongly embedded in cultural areas, political economies and diverse contexts.Paradoxically, the crisis that managerial organisations and economies across the world are currently facing has given new lustre to the &#8220;heroic&#8221; figure of the individual entrepreneur. It has ascribed a more central role to the entrepreneur's works and deeds, while strongly emphasising the societal dynamics driven by families, diasporas, cluster regions, and &#8220;social entrepreneurs&#8221;. The rise of entrepreneurship as an economic, social, and societal phenomenon thus reflects deep changes in behaviour, practices and discourses that are at play within business and social systems. Entrepreneurship appears to be a process of governance and an original form of agency that provides consistency, strength, and the driving force to the entrepreneurial societies of the second post-modern and post-communist era.The conference, whose working language will be English, will set out to question the socio-economic role and function of entrepreneurship from a transdisciplinary and transnational perspective. Are we heading towards entrepreneurial societies rooted in specific cultural areas and structured around common forms of social ties? Is a more global entrepreneurial paradigm emerging and giving birth to various, interconnected entrepreneurial societies? How sustainable is this socio-economic development model?This international conference will be held on 16-17-18 September 2010 at the Institut du Monde Anglophone of the University of Paris III Sorbonne Nouvelle. Entrepreneurship and area studies experts will have the opportunity to exchange and confront their viewpoints on the role of the entrepreneurial process and analyse how the rise of the entrepreneurial society provides a dynamic interface among multi-faceted cultures and contexts.&#160; Proposals (300-500 words) and a short CV (5-10 lines) should be sent by 4 May 2010 to: Jacques-Henri.Coste@univ-paris3.frSelected contributions will be published by PSN (Sorbonne Nouvelle University Press) and by entrepreneurship journals.For more information on the conference go to: http://cervepas.univ-paris3.frOrganizing Committee:    Martine Azuelos, CERVEPAS/CREW, Sorbonne Nouvelle University &#8211; Paris 3, France    Jacques-Henri Coste, CERVEPAS/CREW, Sorbonne Nouvelle University &#8211; Paris 3, France    Catherine Coron, CERVEPAS/CREW, Panth&#233;on-Assas University, (Paris 2), France    R&#233;gine Hollander, CERVEPAS/CREW, Panth&#233;on-Assas University, (Paris 2), FranceScientific Committee:    Alistair Anderson, The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, United Kingdom    Martine Azuelos, Cervepas, Sorbonne Nouvelle University - Paris III, France    Didier Chabaud, Cergy-Pontoise University, France    Jacques-Henri Coste, Cervepas, Sorbonne Nouvelle University, France    Alain Fayolle, EM-Lyon Business School, France    Daniel Hjorth, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark    Louis Jacques Filion, HEC Montr&#233;al, Canada    Jean-Fran&#231;ois Huchet, CEFC de Hong Kong, CERI Sciences Po Paris, France    Stavros Ioannides, Panteion University, Foundation for Economic &#38; Industrial Research, Greece    Jill Kickul, New York University Stern School of Business, USA    Wong, Siu-lun, Center for Asian Studies, Hong Kong University, ChinaAPPEL A COMMUNICATIONSORGANISE PAR LE CERVEPAS/CREW (EA 4399)Sorbonne Nouvelle Universit&#233; Paris III &#8211; UFR DU MONDE ANGLOPHONE16, 17, 18 septembre 2010Le champ et la port&#233;e de l&#8217;entrepreneuriat ne cessent de s&#8217;&#233;largir. Le processus entrepreneurial entendu comme fonction d&#8217;innovation, perception et exploitation d&#8217;opportunit&#233;s, prise de risques, cr&#233;ation de valeur, &#233;mergence et d&#233;veloppement d&#8217;entreprises et de projets s&#8217;&#233;tend &#224; tous les domaines de la vie &#233;conomique et sociale. Il brouille ainsi les fronti&#232;res traditionnelles entre secteurs priv&#233;s et publics. Un nouvel esprit du capitalisme plus entrepreneurial se d&#233;veloppe dans les mondes anglophones et d&#8217;autres sph&#232;res culturelles en r&#233;ponse &#224; la globalisation &#233;conomique et &#224; la fragmentation sociale qui en d&#233;coule. Cette dynamique accompagne le processus de mutation de l&#8217;environnement &#233;conomique, politique et culturel. Elle ne se fonde pas exclusivement sur le principe Schump&#233;t&#233;rien de la &#171; destruction cr&#233;atrice &#187;. Elle a conduit un auteur comme David Audretsch &#224; mettre en avant le concept de &#171; soci&#233;t&#233; entrepreneuriale &#187;. Il pourrait structurer la mani&#232;re du &#171; vivre ensemble &#187; en soci&#233;t&#233; autour de valeurs communes et participer &#224; la construction de formes originales de lien social fortement encastr&#233;es dans des aires culturelles, des &#233;conomies politiques et des contextes vari&#233;s.La crise r&#233;cente que traversent les grandes organisations plus manag&#233;riales et les &#233;conomies mondiales redonne, paradoxalement, un nouveau lustre et un r&#244;le plus central &#224; la &#171; figure h&#233;ro&#239;que &#187; de l&#8217;entrepreneur individuel et &#224; ses &#339;uvres. Elle souligne aussi l&#8217;importance de la dynamique soci&#233;tale qu&#8217;impulsent les familles, les diasporas, les r&#233;seaux entreprenants, les r&#233;gions et tous les entrepreneurs sociaux. La mont&#233;e de l&#8217;entrepreneuriat en tant que ph&#233;nom&#232;ne &#233;conomique, social et soci&#233;tal refl&#232;te ainsi de profonds changements d&#8217;attitudes et d&#8217;actions au sein des syst&#232;mes &#233;conomiques et sociaux qui donnent coh&#233;sion et force aux soci&#233;t&#233;s entrepreneuriales de la postmodernit&#233; lib&#233;rale ou du postcommunisme.Ce colloque, dont la langue de communication sera l&#8217;anglais, se propose d&#8217;interroger dans une perspective transdisciplinaire et transnationale le r&#244;le et la fonction socio-&#233;conomiques que joue l&#8217;entrepreneuriat. Allons-nous vers des soci&#233;t&#233;s entrepreneuriales ancr&#233;es dans des aires culturelles sp&#233;cifiques et structur&#233;es autour de pratiques de lien social communes ? Assistons-nous &#224; l&#8217;&#233;mergence d&#8217;un nouveau paradigme qui donnerait naissance &#224; des soci&#233;t&#233;s entrepreneuriales interconnect&#233;es ? Pareil mod&#232;le socio-&#233;conomique est-il recevable, sinon tenable ?Ce colloque international, qui se tiendra les 16, 17 et 18 septembre 2010 &#224; l&#8217;Institut du Monde Anglophone de l&#8217;Universit&#233; de la Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris III, permettra aux sp&#233;cialistes des aires culturelles anglophones et des champs de l&#8217;entrepreneuriat de confronter leurs points de vue sur le r&#244;le de ce processus socio-&#233;conomique complexe et d&#8217;analyser la mont&#233;e d&#8217;une soci&#233;t&#233; entrepreneuriale mondiale qui met en contact et en dialogue des pratiques vari&#233;es et ancr&#233;es dans des cultures et contextes divers.Les propositions de communications (300-500 mots) devront&#160; parvenir avant le 4 mai 2010 (accompagn&#233;es d&#8217;un court CV) &#224; : Jacques-Henri.Coste@univ-paris3.frPour de plus amples informations sur le colloque : http://cervepas.univ-paris3.frLes contributions retenues feront l&#8217;objet d&#8217;une publication d&#8217;un ouvrage de r&#233;f&#233;rence aux Presses de la Sorbonne Nouvelle et de num&#233;ros sp&#233;ciaux dans les revues d&#233;di&#233;es &#224; l&#8217;entrepreneuriat.Comit&#233; d&#8217;organisation :    Martine Azuelos, CERVEPAS/CREW, Universit&#233; Sorbonne Nouvelle &#8211; Paris 3, France    Jacques-Henri Coste, CERVEPAS/CREW, Universit&#233; Sorbonne Nouvelle &#8211; Paris 3, France    Catherine Coron, CERVEPAS/CREW, Universit&#233; Panth&#233;on-Assas, (Paris 2), France    R&#233;gine Hollander, CERVEPAS/CREW, Universit&#233; Panth&#233;on-Assas, (Paris 2), FranceComit&#233; scientifique :    Alistair Anderson, The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, Royaume-Uni    Martine Azuelos, Cervepas, Universit&#233; Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris III, France    Didier Chabaud, Universit&#233; de Cergy-Pontoise, France    Jacques-Henri Coste, Cervepas, Universit&#233; Sorbonne Nouvelle, France    Alain Fayolle, EM-Lyon Business School, France    Daniel Hjorth, Copenhagen Business School, Danemark    Louis Jacques Filion, HEC Montr&#233;al, Canada    Jean-Fran&#231;ois Huchet, CEFC de Hong Kong, CERI Sciences Po Paris, France    Stavros Ioannides, Panteion University, Foundation for Economic &#38; Industrial Research, Gr&#232;ce    Jill Kickul, New York University Stern School of Business, Etats-Unis    Wong, Siu-lun, Center for Asian Studies, Hong Kong University, Chine
