  • 1.  CALL FOR AUTHORS: Encyclopedia of New Venture Management

    Posted 08-04-2010 15:25
    Greetings,

    We are inviting academic editorial contributors to a new 1-volume reference
    work on the skills and characteristics of successful entrepreneurship.

    New ventures often are launched into highly dynamic environments
    characterized by rapid technological change, inherent unpredictability, and
    an uncertain cash flow. Such ventures often require rapid growth to succeed.
    While new ventures offer those who initiate them a high degree of
    independence, excitement, and potential for great reward, they also offer
    high risk, stress, and greater potential for failure. Thus, it takes a
    special set of skills, techniques, and temperament to succeed. These skills,
    along with the potential risks and rewards and environmental settings and
    characteristics, are explored in the Encyclopedia of New Venture Management.
    The work will contain approximately 150 signed entries with Cross-References
    (“see-also”) and suggestions for Further Readings.

    We are now making assignments due October 15, 2010.

    This comprehensive project will be published by SAGE Reference and will be
    marketed to academic and public libraries as a print and digital product
    available to students via the library’s online services. The General Editor,
    who will be reviewing each submission to the project, is Dr. Matthew Marvel
    at Western Kentucky University’s Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation.

    If you are interested in contributing to this outstanding reference, it is a
    unique opportunity to contribute to the contemporary literature. Moreover,
    it can be a notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your
    publishing credits. SAGE Publications offers an honorarium ranging from SAGE
    book credits for smaller articles up to a free set of the printed product
    for contributions totaling 10,000 words or more.

    The list of available articles is already prepared, and as a next step we
    will e-mail you the Article List (Excel file) from which you can select
    topics that best fit your expertise and interests. Additionally, Style and
    Submission Guidelines will be provided that detail article specifications.

    If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding reference
    with the Encyclopedia of New Venture Management, please contact me by the
    e-mail information below. Please provide a brief summary of your
    academic/publishing credentials in related issues.

    Thanks very much.
