Governance Quality, Market Structure and Innovation: An International Conference
Governance Quality, Market Structure and Innovation: An International Conference
9 – 10 September 2011, University of Greenwich, London
Dear Colleague,
We would like to invite you to take part in an international conference on the relationship between governance quality, market structure, and innovation – to be held on 9-10 September 2011.
We believe that the relationship between economic governance, market structures, network analysis and innovation has remained a relatively under-studied area of research. This has been the case despite extensive work on the relationship between governance quality and other economic outcomes such as growth, investment, and income distribution. In addition, potential synergies that may result from combining economic governance, market structure (i.e., level of competition), relational governance and network structures remain to be explored. Given this state of affairs, we aim to bring together innovative research papers that explore the relationship between innovation (measured through inputs or outputs at macro- or micro-level), economic/corporate/relational governance, and networks structures. We expect the work to be presented at the conference to contribute to the literature in two ways: (i) bringing an economic/corporate/relational governance perspective into the analysis of innovation at macro- or firm-level; and (ii) exploring the ways in which governance quality/structures may interact with networks to influence innovation at macro- or firm-level.
We sincerely hope that you will be able to submit a proposal for this conference.
To view the timetable, explore the conference themes and submit a proposal, please refer to the call for papers at the following link:

Conference registration is free of charge and two days accommodation will be reimbursed for the conference participants.
We look forward to receiving your proposal, which will be assessed by the editorial committee consisting of: Mehmet Ugur, David Dekker and David Sunderland – all at the International Business and Economics Department of the University of Greenwich.
