Submissions may adopt qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method research methodologies and are expected to make a significant contribution to both the academic literature and practical understanding of entrepreneurship.
We particularly encourage interdisciplinary research that integrates perspectives from management, economics, finance, technology, sociology, and public policy to broaden the understanding of entrepreneurship as a multifaceted phenomenon shaping modern economies and societies.
