    > Organizations and individuals are embedded in networks of social
    > relationships, and the positions in these networks are very
    > influential to the success and performance of organizations and
    > individual alike.
    > The INSEAD Conference on Network Evolution is a two day event where we
    > will provide a forum for researchers working at the intersection of
    > networks, innovation and entrepreneurship. We will request submissions
    > that examine the consequences of networks for innovation and the
    > identification of entrepreneurial opportunities; as well as the
    > reverse effects of entrepreneurial activities on the structure of
    > social relationships.

    > Our objective is to generate new insights into the
    > drivers of the evolution of the social structure as well as to
    > stimulate
    > dialogue between scholars tackling these issues from an innovation
    > perspective. We expect this to be small conference (around 30 papers)
    > so that the participants can receive quality feedback from the
    > as well as from their peers.
