Advances in Entrepreneurship, Firm Emergence and Growth provides an annual examination of the major current research, theoretical, and methodological efforts in the field of entrepreneurship, and its related disciplines, as well as firm growth and emergence research. Advances also publishes papers from other fields, such as business policy, organizational behavior, or sociology which use entrepreneurial samples or make a contribution to entrepreneurial theory or research.
Volume 12 will consider the timely issue of entrepreneurship and family business. Of interest are papers which consider in depth the issues, problems, contexts, or processes that make a family firm more entrepreneurial. A representative, but by no means exhaustive, listing of relevant topics includes:
· The emergence and growth of family businesses; founding conditions unique to family firms.
· Maintaining the entrepreneurial spirit of the founding generation.
· The role of family in corporate entrepreneurship.
· The use of entrepreneurial policies, practices and strategies by family firms.
· Outcomes attributable to differences between more and less entrepreneurial family firms
· Family firm versus non-family firm approaches to entrepreneurial decision making.
· Entrepreneurial characteristics and practices across the generations of a family firm.
· Entrepreneurship as an avenue to strategically renew family firms.\
· The allocation of family-based resources to entrepreneurial endeavors.
The papers in Advances reflect many state-of-the-art topics and approaches, and are written by leading researches in the field, making each volume an important source of information for virtually all entrepreneurship researchers. The distinctive competence of research volumes such as Advances is that the articles can be published without page restrictions. This is done by providing greater detail in the background, development, and implementation of ideas than is possible in journal articles. This provides authors with the opportunity to fully express their key ideas, provide much more complete support, and include relevant multi-page appendices. In effect, the publication opportunity in Advances permits authors to publish their "article of record" of their major theoretical or empirical ideas, and see it disseminated to a wide audience. Today, the series is in the libraries of virtually all of the schools with active Ph.D. programs in entrepreneurship, as well as the majority of AACSB accredited schools with MBA concentrations in entrepreneurship and related fields.
Please Note: In preparing manuscripts for submission, please conform to the latest edition of the "Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association" (the same format used by ETP).
We welcome the opportunity to discuss paper ideas with interested researchers. Submissions to volume 12 of the Advances series will be blind reviewed by peers. Contact information for the editors:
