Call for Papers: Corporate Entrepreneurship Workshop and Special Issue

  • 1.  Call for Papers: Corporate Entrepreneurship Workshop and Special Issue

    Posted 12-05-2012 14:46


    What are the impacts of economic recession and resource constraints on formal and informal CE?

    How do networks of roles connect together in organizations to produce CE?

    Do the theoretical linkages suggested in integrative models such as Ireland et al (2009) hold up to empirical testing? What are the critical management practices, e.g., human resource practices/high performance work systems that facilitate the creation of an entrepreneurial orientation?

    Do specific recruitment, selection, training, compensation, and evaluation systems develop and motivate corporate entrepreneurial behavior?

    What role do entrepreneurial cognitions play in the CE process, especially focusing on the decision to initiate and/or sustain entrepreneurial behavior?

    From a practical perspective, what are the best dependent variables/performance metrics to assess CE outcomes?

    What are the cross-cultural issues that must be considered when implementing a successful CE strategy?
