Rational:
In an era marked by recurrent, multifaceted challenges-termed a Polycrisis (Homer-Dixon et al., 2022)-entrepreneurial ventures worldwide face a transformative landscape. No longer confined to isolated events, crises now present an ongoing, complex tapestry of challenges and opportunities. A robust entrepreneurial ecosystem may serve as a double-edged sword, fostering innovation and progress in stable times while providing strength and antifragility to economies during crises (Taleb, 2014). However, existing research primarily focuses on stable and localized contexts, overlooking how entrepreneurial ventures navigate polycrises.
This special issue is dedicated to exploring entrepreneurship within the new normal of polycrisis situations. Our primary emphasis lies in entrepreneurial strategies to navigate this new reality. Bringing together the state-of-the-art research in this emerging field is both crucial and timely. While achieving a comprehensive synthesis in a dedicated special issue remains challenging, it is imperative to elevate this emerging field to the next level and address its pressing demands.
