INSEAD Conference on Network Evolution 8.0

November 17/18, 2023, Fontainebleau

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 9th INSEAD Network Evolution Conference (NEC) will be held on November 17/18, 2023 in Fontainebleau. We are thrilled to be able to run this conference again in person, with real (as opposed to Zoom-based) French wine and cheese.

As before, this will be a two-day event where we will provide a forum for researchers interested in organizational networks.

We are looking for submissions that that examine social graphs on the level of organizations or individuals. The following is a sampling of potential topics to discuss, but the submissions can clearly go beyond them:

1. What are the new and under-researched drivers of network dynamics?

2. What are the network outcomes for individuals or organizations?

3. What can organizational networks research learn from other disciplines?

4. How do network positions and outcomes change when one takes into account the phenomenon of network multiplexity?

5. What are the new areas of graph theory’s application that go beyond inter-personal and inter-organizational networks (e.g. for mapping interdependencies among technologies)?

We especially like to see papers use clear identification strategies (natural experiments, DiDs, randomized field experiments, etc.) to tease out causal effects of interest to network researchers. We remain open to correlational studies as well.

We expect this to be small conference (around 30 papers + keynotes) so that the participants can receive quality feedback.

Tentatively confirmed participants:

Gautam Ahuja, Ron Burt, Tiziana Casciaro, Charlie Galunic, Ranjay Gulati, Michael Jensen, Adam Kleinbaum, Ajay Mehra, Martin Kilduff, Marissa King, Ray Reagans, Michelle Rogan, Sameer Srivastava, Giuseppe Soda, Maxim Sytch, Aks Zaheer

Please consider submitting a full paper to [email protected] by May 30, 2023.

There is no attendance fee, but the participants should cover their own transportation and lodging in Fontainebleau.

Should you have any questions, contact [email protected].

INSEAD Conference on Network Evolution 7.0

October 29/30, 2020, Sorbonne University Campus, Paris

We are sorry to announce that the INSEAD Conference on Network Evolution has been cancelled.

CALL FOR PAPERS
The 7th INSEAD Network Evolution Conference (NEC) will be held on October 29/30, 2020 in Paris (Sorbonne University Campus).
The INSEAD Conference on Network Evolution is a two-day event where we will provide a forum for researchers interested in organizational networks.
We are looking for submissions that have the potential to set directions for the organizational networks research. The following is a sampling of potential topics to discuss, but the submissions can clearly go beyond them:
1. What are the new and under-researched drivers of network dynamics?
2. What are the network outcomes for individuals or organizations?
3. What can organizational networks research learn from other disciplines
4. What can research in other areas (e.g. innovation ecosystems) learn from networks?

We especially like to see papers use clear identification strategies (natural experiments, DiDs, randomized field experiments, etc.) to tease out causal effects of interest to network researchers. We still remain open to correlational studies though.

As usual, we expect this to be small conference (around 30 papers + keynotes) so that the participants can receive quality feedback.

Tentatively confirmed guests:

Brandy Aven, Christine Beckman, Ron Burt, Tiziana Casciaro, Amir Goldberg, Ranjay Gulati, Michael Jensen, Madeline King, Adam Kleinbaum, Joe Labianca, Ajay Mehra, Martin Kilduff, Sonia Oper, Marissa King, Michelle Rogan, Melissa Schilling, Giuseppe Soda

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 6th INSEAD Network Evolution Conference (NEC) will be held on October 27/28, 2018 in Fontainebleau.

The INSEAD Conference on Network Evolution is a two day event where we will provide a forum for researchers interested in organizational networks.

We are looking for submissions that have the potential to set directions for the organizational networks research. The following is a sampling of potential topics to discuss, but the submissions can clearly go beyond them:

a)What are the new and under-researched drivers of network dynamics
b)What are the network outcomes for individuals or organizations
c)What can organizational networks research learn from other disciplines.

Given the growing interest in establishing causal identification in network research, we will be offering a workshop on the design of randomized field experiments, co-organized with INSEAD’s Randomized Controlled Trials Lab.

We also explicitly ask for paper submissions that use clear identification strategies (natural experiments, quasi-natural experiments, randomized field experiments, etc.) to tease out causal effects of interest to network researchers.

As usual, we expect this to be small conference (around 30 papers) so that the participants can receive quality feedback.

b) What are the network outcomes for individuals or organizations (e.g. not only competitive advantage and market performance but also organizational and individual creativity)

c) What can organizational networks research learn from other disciplines (e.g. psychology, big data analytics)

As usual, we expect this to be small conference (around 30 papers) so that the participants can receive quality feedback.

CALL FOR PAPERS

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 discussants as well as from their peers.

This is the second time INSEAD organizes the conference on Network Evolution. The first inaugural conference brought together over 50 academics from all over the world interested in examining the questions of network dynamics at the inter-personal and the inter-organizational levels.

Confirmed keynote speakers:

Don Palmer (UC Davis)
