Relevancy and Importance of the Topic
The entrepreneurial team is the heart of a new venture. Research shows that teams start a significant number of new ventures, or a team is created within the first years of start up. Research also shows there is a strong association between venture success and team-created ventures. Despite this, relatively little research has been conducted on entrepreneurial teams, but moreover predominantly concentrate of single founder persons ("the entrepreneur"). In response to these shortcomings, this special issue of Management Research News will be devoted to advancing research on entrepreneurial teams.

· Entrepreneurial team formation and change processes
· Entrepreneurial team performance
· Entrepreneurial team influence on venture performance and growth
· Power and politics in entrepreneurial teams
· Communication in entrepreneurial teams
· Bisociation and the entrepreneurial team
· Composition of entrepreneurial team
· Entrepreneurial team satisfaction

· Entrepreneurial team and the external environment

· Entrepreneurial team viability and change
· Human and social capital of the entrepreneurial team
