SPECIAL ISSUES
We are also organizing two Special Issues related to this track:
1. World Review of Entrepreneurship, Management and Sustainable Development
· Theme: Gender Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Development Issues. Gender entrepreneurship is an important area of entrepreneurship, management and sustainable development. The aim of this special journal issue is to explore gender entrepreneurship from the perspective of sustainability from the pioneering work of Dana (1993) and Dana and Hipango (2011). Sustainability has become a focal point of interest for many businesses and communities around the world because of its impact on not only on the environment but also on culture. This issue aims to link sustainability entrepreneurship (see Gurau, Lasch and Dana, 2015) and gender entrepreneurship (see Ramadani, Gerguri, Dana and Tasaminova, 2013) literature together. This will help build a more coherent framework and body of literature addressing the role of gender, entrepreneurship and sustainability. Both conceptual and empirical papers are invited.
Deadline: June 30, 2016

2. Journal of Enterprising Communities: People and Places in the Global Economy
· Theme: Gendered Entrepreneurship: Community and Society. Gendered entrepreneurship is about how business ventures whether they are profit or socially motivated are influenced by male and female characteristics towards innovation, risk-taking and creative endeavours; this impacts communities and this is the theme of this special issue. Our objective is to increase the interest in gendered entrepreneurship by focusing on the role of community. Increasingly there has been more attention paid to the role of gender in entrepreneurship because it affects different types of business ventures and the ability of these to succeed in the long term (Dana, 2007; Ramadani, Hisrich & Gërguri-Rashiti, 2015). Communities in the global economy have a gendered approach to entrepreneurship that is impacted by a countries economic progress and involvement in the business environment. This special issue will focus on the determinants, motivations and constraints of male and female entrepreneurs by focusing on the community. This will help us advance our understanding of how gender and economic growth is linked in various communities. The special issue will also provide a better understanding about the differences and similarities between male and female entrepreneurs. Papers that have a conceptual, theoretical or empirical perspective about gendered entrepreneurship will be considered.
Deadline: June 30, 2016
