4th Global Entrepreneurship Research Conference

The 4th Global Entrepreneurship Research Conference was held on 1 - 2nd October 2010 at Imperial College, London, UK.  This successful conference provided an excellent opportunity to discuss and debate state-of-the-art research question, analysis methods, and theoretical frameworks that are applied on GEM data.   The conference provided an excellent opportunity for new and established GEM teams to obtain new ideas and inspiration for their own research and learn about cutting-edge analysis methods that open new dimensions to the use of GEM data for academic and practice-oriented research (view the programme).
