> 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.
> Similar to the 80s and 90s, there 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
>
> Consideration will be given to both theoretical and empirical papers
> for this special issue and is not restricted to Canadian content or
> data. The format of papers should not exceed 40 pages including
> references, tables, and figures. All papers should conform to

>
> Please email submissions to
cjas@mcmaster.ca to the attention of the
> guest editors and indicate in the subject heading that the submission
> is intended for the Special issue on human resource management for
> the new and challenging environment in SMEs. All submitted papers to
> CJAS will undergo a double-blind peer review. If a topic of an
> article does not fit with the special issue, the author(s) will be
> contacted to determine if the paper should be forwarded to the review
> process for a regular CJAS issue. Both French and English papers will
> be accepted for review.
