Entrepreneurship constitutes an area of study within business
administration and management that has undergone unbound development
in recent decades and, despite coming under increasingly close
scrutiny, has the potential for new research for many years to come
(Zahra, 2007). However, despite untold efforts at studying
entrepreneurial behaviour, more research is still needed in order to
improve its operativity via appropriate measurements and indicators.
This can be achieved by exploring underlying processes and
recognizing the multidimensional and configurative nature of the
processes of entrepreneurial decision-making and their outcomes.
(Dess, Lumpkin and Covin, 1997). Similar to the 80s and 90s, there
are currently no systematic, rigorous models for examining
entrepreneurial processes. Although the context of entrepreneurial
initiative offers an excellent framework for empirical research,
this field needs greater study to establish its legitimacy and
distinctive contribution.
Studying entrepreneurial initiative on this level requires
differentiation between two types of action: those based on firm
creation and those that analyze the entrepreneurial
behaviour of existing firms. The former, which are older and more
traditional, focus on the characteristics and behaviour of firm
owners and analyze the creation of new organizations. The latter
study entrepreneurial initiative at a corporate or firm level
defined via innovation, the creation or entry into new national or
foreign businesses, and the processes of strategic renewal (Zahra et
al. 2000).
Within the field of business administration and management, the
integration of theory and empirical research on strategic management
with entrepreneurial initiative could aid in developing the
necessary research paradigm and enrich both the field of
entrepreneurship and that of strategic management due to how well
the two topics complement each other (Ireland, Hitt and Sirmon,
2003).
This Special Issue addresses the theme of entrepreneurship in a wide
sense, including both new firm creation and entrepreneurial
behaviour in large consolidated firms. Papers can be from different
theoretical perspectives and use different empirical methods, such
as large scale survey work and archival databases, but must
constitute fresh work, that genuinely advances existing debates.
Recommended topics include:
�� Theoretical integrative and interdisciplinary models of
entrepreneurship
�� Entrepreneurship & strategic management
�� Entrepreneurship & corporate governance
�� Corporate entrepreneurship & organizational change
�� Corporate Culture & corporate entrepreneurship
�� Determining factors for the success of new ventures
�� Human Resource Management practices that enable/hinder
corporate
entrepreneurship
�� Entrepreneurship & intellectual Capital
�� Entrepreneurship & social network models
�� Entrepreneurship & MNE
�� Entrepreneurship & SME internationalization
�� Characteristics of production systems in newly created
firms
�� Entrepreneurship & innovation
