    Entrepreneurship Comes of Age:  A Return on Scholarly Investment

    Editors:  Kelly G. Shaver and John E. Clarkin

     

    An inherently interdisciplinary scholarly endeavor, entrepreneurship has benefited from perspectives and theories provided by other fields of study.  Some of these derive from traditional business disciplines – such as finance, marketing, human resource management and strategy. Others originated in the social sciences – such as anthropology, economics, psychology, or sociology.  Still others are in the natural sciences, engineering and design – such as mathematics physics, or the visual or performing arts, where individual creativity is transformed into wealth creation through entrepreneurship. In the process of studying the phenomena of new venture creation and expansion, entrepreneurship scholars have gained empirical and theoretical insights that can provide new value the original home discipline.  The scholarly investments provided by various "home disciplines" can now be returned with interest.  That is the purpose of this volume. 

     

    Is work in new product marketing merely an interesting sidelight, or does it have something to say about marketing theory and principles more generally?  How do the resources of a new firm become greater than the sum of its parts?  Are the activities associated with organizing a new business venture unique, or can those activities – often extended through time – illuminate aspects of organizational theory?  Can an entrepreneur's decision to launch a new venture contribute to our understanding of bounded rationality?  Does the study of risk assessment among entrepreneurs add to our knowledge of human cognitive processing?  How have comparative studies of entrepreneurs contributed to broader study of differences between cultures, sexes, or ages?  When principles of mathematics and physics are applied to entrepreneurship, are they merely a convenient metaphor, or do these views of venture creation extend the reach of theories of complex systems?  

     

    We believe that research on entrepreneurial activity is literally coming of age – arriving at a point where the field might begin "giving back" to many of the home disciplines that have been so important to the growth of this exciting intellectual endeavor.  To that end, we invite authors to write chapters that will show how the study of entrepreneurship might provide a return on scholarly investment to one or more home disciplines.  Recognizing that this sort of call is different from many, we encourage interested authors to send us short (one-page) concept proposals by the end of February, 2008.   From this set of concept proposals, we will issue invitations for chapters to be considered for inclusion in the book, to be published by Edward Elgar in 2009. The editors and appropriate disciplinary reviewers will review chapters.  We presume that timely submissions will have a strong chance of being included.

     

    Concept proposals should be sent to either editor as PDF attachments to email.  Contact information for both editors is shown below:
