Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Emerging Markets

 

Track chairs:

 

Entrepreneurship and Innovation track aims to bring together academic scholars and doctoral students with interest in entrepreneurship and innovation to examine the major forces, influences, dynamics and trends in entrepreneurship and innovation in emerging markets.
