The International Entrepreneurship: trends, Challenges, Achievements
- 2017
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The 8th International Conference on The International Entrepreneurship: Trends, Challenges, Achievements was held from 6 to 9 June 2017 in the St. St. Constantin and Helena Resort, near Varna, Bulgaria. This Proceedings book includes some of the papers presented at the conference. Other has been directed to IRE journal Like the previous conferences, the 8th continued the tradition of a relatively small (boutique, as some of the foreign participants say) conference with a high professional level and a nice atmosphere for networking and relaxation. First of all, it is worth mentioning the contribution of our renown keynote speakers: – Prof. Eric Flamholtz (UCLA, Management Systems Consulting Corporation, USA) – Prof. David Smallbone (Kingston University, UK, Past President of the ECSB and ICSB) – Prof. Andrew Burke (Trinity Business School, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, Editor-in-Chief of IRE) – Prof. Simon Bridge (Ulster University Business School, UK). Interesting presentations and lively discussions continued during the parallel sessions. Here are some of the presented reports, without underestimating the rest. We start with the winner of the Best Paper Award at the Conference Tanja Leppäaho (Finland), who presented her paper “Getting Embedded for and during Internationalization”. Prior to the conference, she received 2017 Bertarelli Family Best Paper Award from Babson College Entrepreneurship Research Conference (BCERC) together with Professor Sarah Jack from University of Lancaster School of Management as co-author of their research paper. By the opinion of the majority of the participants, BAMDE Conference in 2016 was a desirable professional and informal event with its own distinctive characteristics. That's why many participants are fans of the BAMDE Conference from many years. A very important feature of the conference, valid for 2017, is the pleasant atmosphere for networking, creating future scientific and business partnerships. The fact is that a number of participants have participated in several editions of the conference. We hope that all of these achievements will reflect even more on the next 9th and especially in the anniversary 10th conference

The long term viability of the Wallenberg family Business group : the role of ''A Dynastic Drive''
- 2010
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this paper the long term viability of one of the most important Swedish family business groups, that of the Wallenberg family, is analyzed by focusing on strategic behaviour in three areas : (1) change versus continuity, (2) centralization versus decentralization in group decision making and (3) the handling of the succession problems. In all these areas it is clearly shown that there are different ways of achieving the overall objective of the family business group to survive and consolidate. Thus, to give a full explanation it is necessary to stress the importance of family values and norms. An indispensable condition for long term survival is, it is argued, the establishment and cementation of a dynamic drive, a tradition of self image which has been developed and maintained by earlier experiences told and impressed upon later generations both by story-telling within the family and, not least, by scholarly biographical research.

-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The emerging digital cryptocurrency Bitcoin has made waves in mainstream media across the globe, as have the numerous extreme events that have rocked it. One such event, the bankruptcy of a prominent Bitcoin exchange called Mt. Gox, particularly shocked the emerging sociotechnical field. However, it is not clear how the numerous entrepreneurial firms operating in this field survived this shock.
