The 29th Annual ISBE Conference returns to the capital city of Wales for the first time since 1988, to be hosted by the University of Glamorgan, in conjunction with Cardiff University. The 2006 ISBE Conference theme builds on the renewed emphasis nationally and internationally on entrepreneurship in small, medium and large organisations. The diversity within this field and the continuing emergence of new areas (e.g. social enterprise) present exciting challenges to policy makers, practitioners, educators and researchers. Such developments directly reflect the interests of the Institute and our main Sponsors, the Welsh Development Agency and the Small Business Service. A key aim of ISBE 2006 is to bridge the gap between theory and practice in entrepreneurship and SME development and to highlight the practical and policy implications of recent research and experience. Another aim is to engage and share experiences with a wider International Community, recognising that entrepreneurs now operate on a global stage. Improving understanding of the contexts, policies and practices will not only inform support for SMEs domestically but also prepare them for the challenges on the wider global stage. Best practices should also be disseminated world-wide. The
key themes to be addressed in the 2006 ISBE
Conference in Cardiff are:
A - Advancing entrepreneurship education at all levels B - Business birth-rate strategy, start-ups and incubation C - Community, ethnic, family, rural and social enterprise E - E-entrepreneurship, e-business and e-learning for SMEs G - Government policies on enterprise development world-wide I - Innovation, clusters, supply chains and networks M - Management, skills development and growth issues for SMEs S - Supporting small business development world-wide V - Venture capital and micro-finance for small businesses W - Women’s enterprise and youth enterprise development
