ABOUT CCC DOCTORAL CONFERENCE

Established in 1994, The Consortium on Competitiveness and Cooperation (CCC) Conference for doctoral student research is an annual conference dedicated to assisting doctoral students improve their dissertation research on topics related to organization and economic theory, technology management and firm strategy, entrepreneurship, and the co-evolution of industrial structure, organizational structure, and innovation. The CCC Doctoral Conference emphasizes student mentoring by respected scholars—many of whom are consortium alums—through comments, constructive feedback, and dialogue. The Conference is comprised of two events: a Community Day and the Doctoral Consortium. During Community Day, we celebrate the scholarship of a CCC honoree with sessions of expert panelists who discuss topics informed by the honoree’s research contributions. At the Doctoral Consortium, about 30 students give a succinct presentation of their dissertation followed by feedback from a designated faculty expert as well as the entire assembled community of CCC scholars. Thus, the Conference has many opportunities for interactions between and among faculty and doctoral students.  This interactive structure of the conference encourages both faculty and student participants to cut across both disciplinary boundaries and individual research agendas.
