SUMMARY:ONLINE: U of GH Virtual Applied Business Conference "Evolution of Small and Medium Enterprises in the 21st Century and Beyond"
DESCRIPTION:Evolution of Small and Medium Enterprises in the 21st Century and Beyond \nhttps://www.guelphhumber.ca/Business-Conference2021 \nEmail: businessconference@guelphhumber.ca \nImportant Dates: \n\nSubmission of Abstracts Deadline: March 29\, 2021 – Please visit the conference website to submit abstract/paper/case study\nAcceptance Notice Deadline: April 10\, 2021\nEarly Bird Conference Registration Deadline: April 20\, 2021 – Register on the conference website\n\nAs Charles Darwin once said\, “It is not the strongest species that survive\, nor the most intelligent\, but the one most responsive to change.” While businesses constantly need to undergo regular transformations\, there are some periods and incidents\, such as the digital age and COVID-19\, when businesses face an existential threat and need to drastically transform and evolve for their ultimate survival. Although the ability to successfully modernize an organization in our fast-paced\, rapidly changing world is essential\, most small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)\, which make up over 98% of total businesses across the world and are a large contribution to value added and employment\, are lacking any will and/or capacity to evolve\, with most of them still following old business styles. Additionally\, minorities\, such as immigrants\, women\, BIPOC and LGBTQ2+ communities\, etc.\, face relatively more barriers while exploring business opportunities. \nIn this backdrop\, the University of Guelph Humber is pleased to host an international applied business conference on the evolution of small and medium enterprises. The conference will be held virtually on Zoom May 6 – 7\, 2021. \nThis conference aims at bringing together academic scholars\, researchers\, entrepreneurs\, policy makers and students from around the globe for an opportunity to present case studies and discuss applied research papers\, as well as to foster research collaborations. It will be an international gathering where participants will explore possible ways for businesses to succeed in this continuously evolving and fast paced environment\, while learning from successful case studies from various parts of the world and contributing to open innovation. Acknowledging the invaluable contributions of minority entrepreneurs to their communities\, participants will also discuss the contribution and challenges of black communities\, people of color and women in business. \nProposals for applied research papers\, case studies and panel discussions in all fields of business are welcomed\, especially\, but not limited to\, the following topics: \n\nopen innovation\nimpact of the Pandemic on SMEs\ntransformation and survival of SMEs during pandemic\nrole of government policies and financial sector in SMEs’ survival and growth\nminorities (Black\, Indigenous and women) entrepreneurship\nentrepreneurship education\nentrepreneurship in low income or emerging markets\ninternational and transnational entrepreneurship\nrole of entrepreneurship in economic development\nAI and other technology-based venturing\n\nPlease note: We welcome work in progress and unpublished working papers. Students are encouraged to submit their research papers or case studies to present in the students’ symposium. \nKeynote Speakers: \n\nProf. Wim Vanhaverbeke\, Professor of Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship\, University of Surrey\, UK\nDr. Nobuyoshi Yamori\, Professor\, Research Institute for Economics & Business Administration\, Kobe University\, Kobe\, Japan\nDr. Wendy Cukier\, Professor & Director\, Diversity Institute\, Ryerson University\, Toronto\, Canada\nMr. Rocco Rossi\, President & CEO\, Ontario Chamber of Commerce\, Toronto\, Canada\n\nAwards: \nThe best papers will be awarded in each of the following categories: \n\nApplied research\nCase study\nStudent work\n\nPublication Opportunities: \n\nSelected papers will be reviewed for a possible publication in a SCOPUS indexed journal of Transnational Corporations Review\, Taylor and Francis.\nPapers can be submitted for a possible publication to the book ‘Disadvantaged Minorities in Business Entrepreneurship for Everyone’ published by Springer. See its Call for Chapters\nBest papers and case studies will be considered for a possible publication in an edited book titled Impact of the Pandemic on Small and Medium Enterprises: International Case Studies\, published by Routledge.\nFull paper/abstract proceedings will be published in a digital format on the conference website.\n\nRegistration Fee:\nThere is no charge for authors with accepted papers to present in the conference\, if they register by April 20. \n\nEarly Bird Registration (by April 20\, 2021): Free\nRegular Registration (after April 20): $100 CAD\n\nFor further inquiries about the conference\, please feel free to contact Dr. Farkhanda Shamim at shamimf@guelphhumber.ca.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Big Ideas in Improvisation - Fred Moten and Vijay Iyer in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation (IICSI) and Musagetes are pleased to present the inaugural lecture of the Big Ideas in Improvisation series: an annual series showcasing provocative thinkers and creative practitioners. \nThis free\, online event—co-presented by the ArtsEverywhere Festival—will feature poet\, critic and theorist Fred Moten in conversation with composer\, pianist and scholar Vijay Iyer\, bringing these two artistic visionaries\, social activists and MacArthur “Genius” award winners together for an evening of provocative and inspiring dialogue.\nThe event will take place Friday\, May 28 at 7 p.m. (ET) via Zoom\, and is free and open to all. \nIf you are interested in attending the event please register online at: https://uoguel.ph/bigideas2021.\nA Zoom link will be sent out the day before the event. \nThis is the first event for Big Ideas in Improvisation\, an annual series that will showcase provocative thinkers and creative practitioners in a public forum as they share ideas and insights about the power\, expansive force and urgency of improvisation. These public lectures\, aimed at a general audience\, will encourage us to consider how the artistic practices of improvisation developed by creative practitioners can translate into broader spheres of influence and action. Improvisational practices can put pressure on unquestioned assumptions\, help us discover new ways of being\, and put into action potential solutions to some of our most pressing contemporary global challenges. \nDescribed by The New York Times as a “social conscience\, multimedia collaborator\, system builder\, rhapsodist\, historical thinker and multicultural gateway\,” Vijay Iyer has carved out a unique path as a shape-shifting presence in 21st century music. His musical language is grounded in the rhythmic traditions of South Asia and West Africa\, the African American creative music movement of the 60s and 70s\, and the lineage of composer-pianists from Duke Ellington to Alice Coltrane. He has received a Doris Duke Performing Artist Award\, a United States Artist Fellowship and a Grammy nomination; released twenty-four albums\, most recently Uneasy (ECM Records\, 2021); received commissions from Brentano Quartet\, Imani Winds\, Bang on a Can All-Stars\, The Silk Road Ensemble\, and the LA Philharmonic; and has recently served as composer-in-residence at London’s Wigmore Hall and artist-in-residence at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. He is Franklin D. and Florence Rosenblatt Professor of the Arts at Harvard University. \nFred Moten is a cultural theorist and poet creating new conceptual spaces that accommodate emergent forms of Black cultural production\, aesthetics and social life. A professor at the Tisch School of the Arts\, NYU\, he has spent the last thirty years crafting illuminating work focusing on social movement\, aesthetic experiment and the poetics of Black study. He has expressed these ideas through Moved by the Motion\, the Center for Convivial Research and Autonomy\, and the Exodus Reading Group; via collaborations with Arika\, Renee Gladman\, Zun Lee\, Jennie C. Jones\, Renée Green\, and George Lewis\, among many others; and in a number of books\, the latest of which\, written with Stefano Harney\, is All Incomplete (Minor Compositions/Autonomedia\, 2021).
