STEP Global Conference – Cartagena 2018

  • Categoría: Noticias Generales
STEP affiliates UniAndes and Icesi co-sponsored the 2nd STEP Global Academic Conference at the UniAndes Cartagena, Colombia campus on October 18-20, 2018. Event organizers Luis Diaz Matajira (UniAndes) and Yeny Rodriguez (Icesi) (pictured left) implemented a successful conference creating cross-cultural interactions, collaborations and meaningful outputs. The UniAndes and Icesi teams welcomed 33 STEP members from 20 outstanding academic institutions representing 13 countries (Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Guatemala, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Peru, United States of America, and Venezuela) at the beautiful Cartagena campus.  Since the founding of the Successful Transgenerational Entrepreneurship Practices (STEP) Project, significant progress has been made in expanding our understanding of entrepreneurship within the context of family owned enterprises. This progress is attributed to the 175+ scholars involved in STEP. This 2018 conference allowed STEP scholars to showcase their scholarly work within the realm of transgenerational entrepreneurship. Day one kicked off with an outstanding Keynote speaker, Mr. Daniel Haime, a third generation family entrepreneur. Mr. Haime passionately discussed entrepreneurial legacy, values, innovation, purpose, and his journey of a large-scale regional development project by entrepreneurial families. The session concluded with a spectacular tour of the Serena Del Mar project. At the end of the day, STEP attendees enjoyed typical Colombian dinner at El Santimo restaurant in “old town” Cartagena. At the dinner, a special toast was given to dedicated STEP member Katsushi Yamaguchi from Waseda Univeristy, Japan, who traveled 29 hours to participate in the conference! We also want to send our gratitude to Ricardo Terrazas from Grupo AG (corporate) for his generous sponsorship of this excellent dinner.  During the 2nd day of the event, Keynote speaker Prof. María Alejandra Vélez, UniAndes, Colombia, shared insights about how Sustainable Development Goals have given a common language to similar initiatives all around the world and the impact these initiatives have on social and economic development.  Throughout the conference, thought leaders, senior and junior scholars worked side by side to forge new ideas and provide invaluable feedback during the program’s 6 roundtable discussions, 9 poster presentations and 2 STEP research teaching case presentations. Ilse Matser, Windesheim Univ., presented an interactive workshop titled: Family Constitution Practices: what can we learn from STEP cases?. A STEP Conference Awards Dinner was held the second evening of the conference at the UniAndes campus rotunda. Recipients of the STEP Project 2018 Global Conference Awards were announced:    Best Paper Presentation: Tatiana Manolova (Bentley Univ., USA) Title: The influence of family business practices and national economic context on female succession in family firms Co-Authors: Tatiana Manolova (Bentley Univ.), Candida Brush (Babson) and Linda Edlelman (Bentley Univ.)
