CFP: Special Issue on: "Sport as an Entrepreneurial Venture"

Call for Papers
International Journal of Entrepreneurial Venturing (IJEV)
Special Issue on: "Sport as an Entrepreneurial Venture"
Paper Submission Deadline: 30 June 2010

https://www.inderscience.com/browse/callpaper.php?callID=1241

Guest Editors:
Dr. João Leitão, Technical University of Lisbon, IN+ and Polytechnic Institute of Portalegre, Portugal
Dr. Vanessa Ratten, Duquesne University, United States

The purpose of this special issue is to investigate the relationship between sport and entrepreneurial ventures. Many sport activities involve an entrepreneurial venture as change and innovation are critical to the continued development and success of the sport sector. The current literature on sport has to a large extent ignored the entrepreneurial literature and the aim of this special issue is to develop a better understanding of entrepreneurial ventures in sport and sport-related industries.

Sport as a venture creation tool creates many positive benefits. Entrepreneurial ventures in sport can include the development of stadiums and teams, the growth of athletes and branding and technological advances. As sport is a global billion dollar industry, there is a variety of different types of entrepreneurial ventures that take place. The promotion and creation of entrepreneurial ventures in sport creates many different challenges and opportunities in a global market that is constantly changing. As there is increasing competition for venture funding, sports organisations must evolve to create a competitive advantage. Sports organisations can do this by forming entrepreneurial ventures that focus on innovation, are proactive and involve a degree of risk taking activity.

This special issue proposes that entrepreneurial ventures in sport are important to understand and sustain sport organisations. Moreover, entrepreneurial ventures in sport can offer direction to businesses who want to increase their overall performance.

Subject Coverage

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Innovation and entrepreneurial ventures in sport
* The sport interface for entrepreneurs
* Influences of ventures and rapid growth of sport
* Theory on developing sport-based entrepreneurship
* Measuring pressure and confrontations of entrepreneurial life in the sport context
* Entrepreneurs in sport and the ventures they have created (e.g. Michael Jordan, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, Nike, Adidas, Apple, etc)
* Determinants of performance in sports teams
* The influence of leadership and coaching on performance of sports teams
* Influence of venture characteristics and environment demands on entrepreneurs in sport
* Development of entrepreneurship opportunities around sport

The School of Applied Social Sciences is seeking to appoint a Professor of Applied Social Sciences (Sport and Social Policy). We welcome applications from candidates with research and teaching specialisms in social policy, sport, health or physical activity. The post offers exceptional opportunities for the successful candidate to lead the development of sport research in ways that capitalise on links with other research themes in the School, including social policy, health, crime, identity, globalisation and regeneration.

The School of Applied Social Sciences is a multidisciplinary School that includes Sport, Sociology, Community and Youth Work, and Social Work. Our research has a particular focus on the application of social science concepts and methods to understanding and informing social policy and professional practice. There are internationally-leading clusters of research on new technologies, professional practice and development, and complex systems. The successful candidate will provide academic leadership in an area of the School’s work that fosters further integration of our subjects and research areas.

We are a multidisciplinary School, with highly-ranked subject specialisms in Sociology, Criminology, Sport, Social Work, and Community and Youth Work. Our undergraduate programmes in Sociology, Criminology and Sport are among the most popular in the UK.

The quality of our research in the School of Applied Social Sciences has been formally recognised by the Research Assessment Exercise 2008 - a rigorous procedure designed to assess research activities at every UK university.

In the recent exercise, 90% of research in the School was rated as of international significance with 60% being internationally excellent or of world leading originality, significance and rigour in its Unit of Assessment (Social Policy and Social Work). The School's "excellent active and vital research culture" was highlighted, along with our outstanding international collaborations, interdisciplinarity and impact on policy and practice.

Thirty per cent of our students are postgraduates, either training for a professional qualification or undertaking research for a Masters degree or PhD. We have three ESRC-recognised taught Masters programmes in Sociology, Social Policy and Social Work, and a large group of research students attracted by working with our world-class academics, either self-funded or supported by bursaries.

We offer the opportunity to study in the outstandingly beautiful city of Durham and at one of the country's top universities, the third oldest in England. Our ethos, however, is contemporary and applied. Our aim is to enable every one of our students to fulfill their potential: many are now in key positions in government, public services, business, universities and the media. There is a highly developed research culture, with a large group of postgraduate students studying for Masters degrees and doctorates. Our research is interdisciplinary and often informs policy and practice. Our new Masters in Professional Practice, for example, is specially designed for professionals to undertake work-based projects for a research dissertation, and a new taught Masters in Managing Community Practice has been developed for those working to improve the welfare of local communities.

CFP: Contemporary Ethnography Across the Disciplines Hui

Contemporary Ethnography

Across the Disciplines Hui

November 17-19, 2010

University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand

Our hui, or conference gathering, will consist of three key threads:

Emerging Methods: traditional, experimental, transgressive forms

Practice and Advocacy: doing ethnography on the ground

Social Justice and Transformation: theoretical ethnographic visions

This quadrennial conference welcomes all manner and standpoints of ethnographic disciplinary practices, and aims to stimulate rich intellectual discourse.

We welcome proposals of sessions, papers, performances, and posters. We anticipate an unfolding of many disciplinary spaces and creative moments.

Dialogues among participants, keynotes, and panels will lead to deeper understandings of a variety of ethnographic practices. We are excited to present this opportunity for a gathering of ethnographers in Aotearoa/New Zealand, and see this hui as the first of a series of occasions for discussion of ethnographic research and practices.
