中山大学管理学院(SYSBS)诚邀学者参加“2026年前沿管理研究国际研讨会”。本届研讨会将于2026年5月23日在中国广州举办,主题为“新发展格局下的创业研究”


 

Theme and Background

主题与背景

 

Entrepreneurship has always thrived in times of change. Yet today’s entrepreneurs face an unprecedented convergence of new risks and new opportunities. Global business is increasingly shaped by geopolitical tensions, economic fragmentation, and technological disruption, as well as by sweeping innovations in artificial intelligence (AI), digital platforms, and global connectivity. Together, these shifts constitute a new reality—one that redefines how entrepreneurs identify opportunities, mobilize resources, and compete in dynamic and uncertain environments.


 

创业始终在变革的时代中孕育并成长。然而,当今创业者所面对的,是前所未有的新风险与新机遇并存的局面。地缘政治紧张加剧、经济体系趋于碎片化、技术颠覆持续演进,以及人工智能(AI)、数字平台和全球互联等一系列重大创新,正在深刻重塑全球商业环境。在这一新发展格局下,创业者识别机会、整合资源并参与竞争的方式正在发生深刻变化,其所处的环境也愈发呈现出高度动态性与不确定性。


 

On the one hand, entrepreneurs are challenged by rising geopolitical frictions, technological decoupling, and regulatory fragmentation, which heighten uncertainty and reshape access to global markets, talent, and capital. Start-ups and multinationals alike must navigate a world marked by competing geo-economic blocs, localized ecosystems, and politicized supply chains.
 

一方面,地缘政治摩擦上升、技术脱钩加剧以及监管体系分化显著提升了不确定性,深刻改变了企业获取全球市场、人才与资本的方式。无论是初创企业还是跨国公司,都必须在由竞争性地缘经济板块、本地化创新生态以及政治化供应链所构成的复杂环境中探索生存与发展路径。


 

On the other hand, new technologies, digital platforms, green transformation, and intelligent connectivity have expanded the frontiers of entrepreneurial opportunity. Artificial intelligence, automation, data analytics, digital connectivity and green technologies are transforming industries and business models. Digital entrepreneurship, platform ecosystems, and born-global start-ups are thriving by leveraging distributed innovation, online collaboration, and cross-border digital trade. The rise of new markets in Global South and emerging markets coupled with deepening regional integration, is also opening diverse pathways for entrepreneurial growth and impact.


 

另一方面,新技术、数字平台、绿色转型与智能互联不断拓展创业机会的边界。人工智能、自动化、数据分析、数字连接以及绿色技术正在重塑产业结构与商业模式。数字创业、平台生态系统以及天生全球化(born-global)企业,正通过分布式创新、在线协作与跨境数字贸易实现快速成长。同时,全球南方经济体与新兴市场的崛起,以及区域一体化的持续深化,也为创业活动的增长与影响力扩展提供了更加多样化的路径。


 

Against this backdrop, understanding entrepreneurship under new realities requires integrating insights from multiple disciplines, such as entrepreneurship, international business, strategic management, innovation studies, data science, and organizational behavior, and political economy. How do entrepreneurs build capabilities and resilience amid geopolitical turbulence? How do digital connectivity and AI reshape opportunity discovery, scaling, and collaboration across borders? What new forms of legitimacy, diplomacy, and partnership emerge as entrepreneurs operate in politically sensitive or institutionally complex environments?


 

在此背景下,理解“新发展格局下的创业”,亟需整合创业学、国际商务、战略管理、创新研究、数据科学、组织行为学以及政治经济学等多学科视角。例如:创业者如何在地缘政治动荡中构建组织能力与战略韧性?数字连通性与人工智能如何重塑跨境创业中的机会发现、规模扩张与协同合作?当创业活动嵌入政治敏感或制度复杂的环境时,又会催生出何种新的合法性建构、企业外交与合作模式?


 

This conference seeks to advance scholarly and practical understanding of how entrepreneurs navigate, shape, and thrive under the evolving global realities of our time. Here are some illustrative topics (but not limited to):

  • Entrepreneurial strategy and innovation under geopolitical and geoeconomic uncertainty
  • AI-driven entrepreneurship, digital innovation, and platform ecosystems
  • Born-global start-ups and international new ventures in the digital age
  • Entrepreneurial resilience and adaptation under global fragmentation
  • The role of digital connectivity in enabling cross-border entrepreneurship
  • Institutional entrepreneurship and corporate diplomacy in contested markets
  • Regional integration, global value chains, and entrepreneurial opportunities
  • Venture capital, sovereign funds, and entrepreneurial finance amid new risks

  • Entrepreneurship in emerging markets and the Global South
  • Policy entrepreneurship and national innovation strategies in the age of AI
  • Human capital, creativity, and innovation ecosystems under new realities
  • Comparative entrepreneurship across political, cultural, and technological systems


 

本次研讨会旨在深化学术界与实践界对当今全球环境变化中创业活动的理解,探讨创业者如何在复杂多变的国际背景下应对挑战、塑造环境,并实现成长与突破。以下为部分示例性研究主题(包括但不限于):

  • 地缘政治与地缘经济不确定性下的创业战略与创新
  • AI驱动的创业、数字创新与平台生态系统
  • 数字时代的天生全球化企业与国际新创企业
