Abstract:
The entrepreneurship field is complex as it encompasses multi-faceted questions. Entrepreneurship theory has been conceptualized through leading actors' deeds in relation to their organizational and market context. This approach positions human action center stage. 'Destructive creation' has been argued to embody the power to both unsettle and re-shaping the consolidated organizational routine and market patterns. Accordingly the epistemological paradigm of entrepreneurship is based on intentionality, planning quality, awareness and the relationality of the subject.
ￜ
Although the research field can be traced at least four or five decades it still encompasses topics yet to be investigated thoroughly in order to enrich future scholarship in the field (see Welter and Lasch 2008). In addition to this, even the "established" subfields of entrepreneurship call for significant improvements both methodologically and theoretically to maneuver the discipline away from controversial empiricism. The European research on entrepreneuship is flavoured by methodological openness and diverse approaches reflecting the richness of European traditions (Huse and Landstrￜm 1997; Wiklund, Dimov, Katz, and Shepherd 2006; Fayolle, Kyrￜ, and Ulijn 2005). It spans a variety of approaches borrowing from disciplines such as psychology, sociology etc. and it has a particular flair to soft variables (like the national or locally embedding conditions in which entrepreneurship arises, environmental and ethical problems). It, thus, acknowledges that entrepreneurship as a phenomenon has both a scientific and societal dimension (Davidsson 2003). For these reasons, the aim of having a general track in entrepreneurship, quite broadly defined reply to a natural need of the discipline not to restrict into rigid classifications.
ￜ
We particularly welcome contributions that advances theoretical or conceptual considerations and new empirical insights or either practitioner-oriented papers targeted to mangers of private sector as well as to the policy makers. We appreciate methodological diversity. In particular we invite 'enterprising' contributions with scientific curiosity that:
ￜ
Use novel approaches from other correlated disciplines (psychology, sociology, anthropology etc.),
"Export" entrepreneurship models to other discipline to gain insights to develop new theories for the entrepreneurship field
Employ novel or new combinations of the already known methodologies,
Test unexplored relations which have yet to receive thorough attention,
Utilize new units of analysis or datasets,
Compare different national European and non-European realities,
Contextualize findings through "environmental" circumstances in either national or international setting.
ￜ
Keywords: New qualitative and quantitative approaches and philosophies, European and International view, Comparative studies
