CfP SI Technovation Linking Innovation and Entrepreneurship: Real-World Challenges in High-Cost Economies
In this special issue, we address the lessons that still need to be learned in high-cost economies, like the advanced northern economies, to tackle practical problems and bridge the gap between the research fields of innovation and entrepreneurship. Specifically, we call for high-quality research that focuses on real-world challenges in the areas of innovative entrepreneurship, innovation ecosystems, entrepreneurial ecosystems, entrepreneurial experimentation, and innovative student entrepreneurs.
Specific areas addressed
Innovative entrepreneurship: Innovation and entrepreneurship are distinct but interrelated phenomena that drive economic growth and social welfare. We seek to understand the nature of innovative entrepreneurship, its driving forces, unique challenges, and the outcomes it creates.
Innovation ecosystems and entrepreneurial ecosystems: Firms' innovation processes are affected by their participation in innovation ecosystems, while opportunities for entrepreneurship are shaped by entrepreneurial ecosystems. We invite papers that address the challenges of interaction between different types of ecosystems and their relation to innovation and entrepreneurship in high-cost economies.
Entrepreneurial experimentation: Entrepreneurial experimentation is vital for driving the dynamics of innovation ecosystems. We encourage papers addressing macro and micro-level challenges related to entrepreneurial and policy experimentation in high-cost economies,
Innovative student entrepreneurs: Research linking entrepreneurship and innovation can shed light on untapped potential among students and PhD students. We welcome studies that explore how student entrepreneurs contribute to entrepreneurial communities and how their activities influence the larger ecosystem.
