We are proud with the possibility to welcoming you in the capital of Ribatejo and the capital of Gothic architectural style. Economic and organizational value creation is currently strongly embodied and embedded in innovation and entrepreneurship strategies and capabilities. Discovering and learning about those approaches can reflect the companies and nations adaptive capacity, both internally and externally. Thus, we invite researchers, practitioners and academics to present their researches and to share their own experiences in the fields of innovation and entrepreneurship. Delegates will certainly discover a region and an old city, just close to Lisbon, experiencing the Ribatejo traditions and tastes. We hope that you can join us in ECIE 2012 with new insights and we look forward to welcoming you to Santarém. Ilídio T.
