    CALL FOR PAPERS

     World Review of Entrepreneurship, Management and Sustainable Development

    http://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=wremsd

     

    Special Issue on: ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN THE BALKANS

     

     

    Guest Editors:

    Veland Ramadani, South-East European University, Macedonia, E-mail: v.ramadani@seeu.edu.mk

    Gadaf Rexhepi, South-East European University, Macedonia, E-mail: g.rexhepi@seeu.edu.mk

     

     

    The Balkans cover a large area of Europe, heterogeneous in historical experience, policy and demographics; it is rich in opportunities for entrepreneurship, but far from homogeneous. The aim of this special issue is to explore entrepreneurship from the perspective of Balkan countries, building on pioneer works including Ateljevic et al. (2009); Dana (1994; 2010); Ramadani and Schneider (2013); and Ramadani et al. (2014).   

    The Balkans has not been a focal point of interest in the current literature on entrepreneurship and small business and this special issue aims to overcome this deficit in our knowledge. This special issue shall be very welcomed by regional and international researchers, who are interested to know more about entrepreneurship in the Balkans countries.

    Both micro and macro level studies are invited. Also both quantitative and qualitative approaches are welcome. We also encourage writers to come forward with emerging and frame-breaking topics to diversify and widen research from the perspective of the Balkans.
