Dear Colleagues,
Please find below a CfP for the International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation (IJEI).
Selected articles (after a double blind review) will be published in International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Volume 10, Issue 3, 2009.
Abstract Submission Deadline: <st1:date year="2008" day="15" month="4">15th April 2008</st1:date>
Guest Editors
- Alain Fayolle, EM Lyon
- Olivier Basso, Singleton Institute
- Véronique Bouchard, EM Lyon
Aims of the Special Issue
The special issue will mainly address two core dimensions of the CE phenomenon:
1) The many faces of innovation and the various ways large companies strive to bypass internal constraints to reinvent themselves as new organizations.
2) The place for entrepreneurial managers and the analysis of the new managerial roles, responsibilities and abilities within would-be entrepreneurial firms.
Themes may include:
- Changing nature of entrepreneurial organizations: What are the new organizational forms for collective action? What kind of unifying culture? Are structure and hierarchy still relevant for project-based companies?
- New business development challenges: Can innovation spring from disciplined environments? What is the nature of the dialectic between semi-formalized processes and creative chaos? What is its impact on the identity/cohesiveness of the firm?
- Continuous renewal: Is the distinction between strategic renewal and business as usual still valid in these times of continual change? Or do we have to articulate a new vision of the firm as an ever-ending, self-improving system?
- Corporate venture capital (CVC) as a financial and strategic arm: How is it possible to reconcile strategic goals and financial demands (IRR)? Are CVC funds to be considered as internal or external vehicles for change? Are they sustainable initiatives or merely transitory gimmicks that remain dependant on the exuberance of the financial market?
- Players at the innovation game: Mavericks or processes? Are intrapreneurs merely symptomatic of organizational disorder and corporate inability to master innovation or are these individuals the embodiment of innovation?
These themes are not exhaustive and any study / paper which fit the encompassing themes of corporate entrepreneurship will be considered for publication.
We are looking for articles of no more than 7 000 words and case studies are welcome.
Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere
All papers are refereed through a peer review process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Journal Web site (http://www.ippublishing.com)
