CALL FOR PAPERS
Journal of Business Venturing
Special Forum on International Entrepreneurship
The guest editors for the Special Forum on International Entrepreneurship (IE)
in the Journal of Business Venturing invite proposals for review papers in the
field of IE.
The Special Forum will be comprise of two sections: 1) Field Reviews of IE, and
2) Focused Topic Reviews of IE. Each part will have its own set of deadlines.
Details follow.
Section 1 ¨C ¡®Field Reviews of IE¡¯
Submissions to the first section of competitive papers will focus on ¡®field
reviews¡¯ of research in International Entrepreneurship. These papers will
demarcate the field of IE with a thorough and systematic review of the
development and state of IE research. These reviews are to be general in
nature, and distinct from those in Section 2 (see below).
Section 2 ¨C ¡®Focused Topic Reviews of IE¡¯
Submissions to the second section of competitive papers will differ from Section
1 papers in that they will focus on a specific topic of relevance in IE
research. They should propose and outline a critically evaluative review of
that particular topic or question, discussing the relevant theory and
perspectives in some depth. Some suggested topics might be:
Social capital and network perspectives in IE research
The strategic management influence in IE research
IE in emerging or transitional economies
Capturing performance in IE research
IE as marketing exchange ¨C the marketing perspective in IE
What are the economic/political factors behind the phenomenon of IE?
Finance perspectives in IE research
Transnational and migrant entrepreneurship in IE research,
IE from a social and sustainable perspective
The psychology influence ¨C understanding the international entrepreneur
Others
All submissions (Sections 1 and 2) should address the past and future of IE in
an effort to advance high quality scholarship in this field. All authors should
keep in mind three key objectives of the papers in this Special Forum:
1. celebrate IE as a field of study;
2. define IE as a discrete, mature and growing disciplinary area; and
3. provide a rich base for future research in IE.
Submission Guidelines
Rather than submit full papers, 5 page proposals are requested for both Sections
1 and 2 of the Special Forum. Each proposal will include the intent, scope and
theoretical positioning of the review as well as anticipated contributions to
the IE field. The Guest Editors, JBV Editor and a select panel of scholars will
review each proposal, selecting those proposals to be developed into full
papers. Each full paper will be blind©\reviewed through the JBV system, subject
to the rigours and risks of any peer review process.
The author(s) of each successful Section 2 proposal will receive draft versions
of the accepted Section 1 papers that provide the foundation for this Special
Forum. This is so Section 2 authors will have a full understanding of findings
that have emerged in the ¡®general¡¯ reviews and can use them as a point of
departure. Together, all of the Special Forum papers will provide a
comprehensive overview of IE research. Critically, they will provide a solid
foundation and research agendas for future study.
