On 5th & 6th November, the\u00a0ISBE<\/a>\u00a02014 policy and practitioner \u00a0conference in Manchester hosted over 400 attendees from more than 40 countries. This year\u2019s conference focussed on the theme of,<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Future of Enterprise: The Innovation Revolution<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

With over 250 presentations on a diverse range of topics, high-profile keynote speakers, stimulating panel debates and a number of specialist workshops, the conference has become known as “the best place to go for the highest quality new entrepreneurial and small business research.” The event “connects policy makers with business support practitioners and academics, nurturing productive dialogue and engagement between these groups, allowing the research to inform policy and practice to create genuine change.”<\/p>\n

ERC contributed to the conference through the presentation of a number of research papers, contribution to the leadership of a conference track on \u2018SME growth and performance\u2019 and leading a Masterclass on \u2018Impact by Design\u2019.<\/p>\n

The theme of engagement \u2013 linking research with policy and practice \u2013 ran through much of the conference particularly as we approach a general election.<\/p>\n

Professor Stephen Roper<\/strong>. ERC, Warwick Business School, presented a lunchtime workshop<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cImpact by Design \u201c<\/strong>Stephen Roper.<\/p>\n

Impact is \u2026 \u2018according to the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)\u2019\u2026the concept of impact in the social sciences applies to all sectors \u2026 It embraces economic and societal impact in the sense of direct and often quantifiable economic benefits; wider social impacts that will benefit society more generally such as effects on the environment, public health or quality of life; and impacts on government policy, the third sector and professional practice\u2019. and occurs through a range of different routes – The 5 \u2018I\u2019s\u2026 \u2013 Impact through world class social science research \u2013 Impact through skilled people \u2013 Impact through world class infrastructure \u2013 Impact through international leadership \u2013 Impact through partnerships\u00a0 and it matters because research can change the world and improve lives<\/p>\n

Karen said \u201cThe internationalisation track had a range of interesting papers, and makes a useful addition to ISBE, considering the track is only a relatively recent addition. There were some interesting observations about barriers to female entrepreneurship in developing countries, particularly cultural barriers which I hadn’t previously considered. I also felt the paper on crowdfunding ( Dr Sharon Loane<\/a> \u2013University of Ulster) very topical and was surprised to discover that around 50% of projects fail.<\/p>\n

The authors are looking into the failures in more detail to examine, amongst other things, the impact on the entrepreneur and how, if at all, it affects reputation. I think this is relevant to the ERC as we often focus on businesses that are successful, and how they grow. Looking at funding failure and how that impacts on a business and the owner could also help tell the story.<\/p>\n
