3rd George Doriot Conference HEC – EM Normandie & ADVANCIA

4th and 5 th March 2010 Normandy (venue to be decided)

Intrapreneurship: The reality behind the talk

Call for papers

At Harvard Georges Doriot was a pioneer in management teaching and research. At the beginning of the 1930s he introduced into the CPA case study method, which became the Executive MBA of the Groupe HEC. He was also one of the “inventors” of risk capital in the USA after the war and made his fortune by participating in the creation of DEC.

Reasons for organizing the Georges Doriot Conference: Every two years the Georges Doriot Conference – created by HEC Paris and EM-Normandie and now joined by Advancia – provides the opportunity to put into practice three strong principles: - practical intelligence : entrepreneurship is a field where the link between practice and academic reflection is necessary and fruitful; - a cross-disciplinary vocation : this conference will make it possible to examine different facets of entrepreneurial phenomena: managerial, legal, psychological, historical, etc… In addition to management science, the conference will be open to specialists of economic science, legal science, cognitive science and, more widely, the human and social sciences. - open to the professional world : this conference is intended to be a place of exchange between the academic community and the professional world, just like Georges Doriot, who was both a pioneer in research and teaching and a major figure in the area of risk capital and entrepreneurship.

Intrapreneurship: theme of the 3rd edition

What if, backed up by some success stories, academic research on intrapreneurship slightly preceded management practice? First of all, it is difficult to measure the real importance of the phenomenon because its definition is not self-evident. In practice, intrapreneurship disdains traditional disciplines, being at the crossroads of innovation, human resources, projects, creativity and strategy. It goes beyond the initial area of large companies and invades the world of SMEs as well as the non-commercial domain and public management. Putting utopianism to one side, one must question the reality and limits of intrapreneurship. What is the real role or intrapreneurship in the diffusion of innovative management practices? Can the promotion of intrapreneurial behaviour paradoxically be accompanied by a desire to inhibit all vague entrepreneurial impulses. Is management by intrapreneurship a paradox in itself?

With this in mind, we invite you to develop new original and critical perspectives on the following topics:

- The various forms of intrapreneurship, - Intrapreneurship and innovation management, - Project management and intrapreneurship: differences and similarities, - Intrapreneurship and the making of strategy (autonomous strategic behaviour and emerging strategy), - Entrepreneurial organisation and intrapreneurial behaviour, - Managing intrapreneurs, - Intrapreneurship and power in organisations, - From intrapreneurship to entrpreneurship: levers and constraints, - Intrapreneurship versus entrepreneurship, - Intrapreneurship in the non-commercial world, - Management practices facilitating the development of intrapreneurial behaviour, - Gender, diversity and intrapreneurship, - Intrapreneurship and sustainable development, - etc.

Among the speakers invited:

Véronique BOUCHARD , Professor, EM Lyon Christophe MIDLER , Director of Research, CRG, Ecole Polytechnique

Designed to be both academic and practical, this 3rd edition will feature a case study workshop . The best case will be selected by a special committee and published in the Expansion Entrepreneuriat review .
