Dear colleagues,
We invite submissions to the Journal of International Entrepreneurship (Springer) Collection titled "Ecosystemic and Network Perspectives in International Entrepreneurship." This Collection explores how entrepreneurial, business, innovation, and digital ecosystems, as well as networks and transnational linkages, shape the internationalization of entrepreneurial firms, including early‑internationalizing "born globals."
We welcome conceptual and empirical papers on topics such as (illustrative):
– Entrepreneurial ecosystems in international/multi‑level contexts
– Business and innovation ecosystems (e.g., fintech, healthtech, sustainability clusters)
– Digital platform ecosystems and platform‑based internationalization (e.g., Amazon, Alibaba, Shopify)
– Network dynamics, diaspora and migrant entrepreneurship, and transnational/ethnic ecosystems
– Theoretical and critical perspectives on ecosystem/network functionality and failure in IE
Deadline for full paper submissions: 31 March 2026.
Submission & full call: Please submit via the Journal of International Entrepreneurship online system and select the Collection "Ecosystemic and Network Perspectives in International Entrepreneurship" when prompted. The Collection and call details are available here: https://link.springer.com/collections/fdgfibfecf
