New Call for Papers - JBVI - Entrepreneurship and Web3!

Journal of Business Venturing Insights (JBVI) is excited to launch the CfP for another JBVI Virtual Special Issue: Entrepreneurship and Web3: https://lnkd.in/dg9Q8a63

Web 3.0 or Web3––dubbed the Next Internet or the read-write-own Internet––is rapidly changing the world’s economic, social, legal, political, and cultural landscape. Anchored around the premise of “decentralization”, as well as “permissionless” and “trustless” relationships among users, creators and owners, Web3 is a broad concept that encompasses a range of technologies, services, goods, assets and ways of organizing, from blockchain, crypto currencies, decentralized finance (DeFi), blockchain-based gaming (GameFi), non-fungible token (NFT), to decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).

Although the so-called Web3 has been around for approximately 14 years – dating back to the birth of Bitcoin (2009) and Ethereum (2015), scholarly research is embryonic, and lacks conceptual foundations. The combination of decentralization, anonymity, innovation, interoperability, borderlessness and transparency make Web 3.0 a radically different environment for firms to operate in, and this raises several important research questions. Will Web3 change our theories of entrepreneurship and the fields of management and organization more broadly? What can we as scholars contribute to the debate and conversation in the Web 3.0 space, and how might we influence policy and practice?

We encourage interdisciplinary research at the intersection of entrepreneurship and organization theory, marketing, information systems, computer science, finance, psychology, anthropology, sociology, arts and design, and other disciplines. We encourage research that employs novel empirical methods and techniques not typically used in entrepreneurship research, ranging from machine learning, big data analysis, choice/lab/field/scenario-based experiments, ethnographic studies, to vignette interviews.

The special issue is open to all methodological approaches, including empirical modeling, experimental studies, qualitative research, and conceptual modeling. Research that can inform regulation and public policy as it is relevant to entrepreneurship, is also a welcome.

Special Issue Editors:
Yanto Chandra, City University of Hong Kong
Cristiano Bellavitis, Syracuse University
Dominic Chalmers, University of Glasgow

Submission guidelines
There is no deadline for the special issue. This is an ongoing 'special issue' section of JBVI. This means that submitted papers will be handled as part of the normal submission flow of the journal, but will be designated as belonging to the special issue.

Questions about the Web3 Special Issue should be directed to Yanto Chandra, ychandra@cityu.edu.hk

We're going to organise an online webinar in early 2023, so you can meet the editors, ask questions and share your ideas. More details will be released later this year - stay tuned!
