Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal (SEJ)
Special Issue on
Entrepreneurship and Open Innovation
Special Issue Editors: Satish Nambisan, UW-Milwaukee; Donald Siegel,
UAlbany; Martin Kenney, UC-Davis
The wider recognition and adoption of open innovation (OI) approaches across
various sectors and industries has yielded promising new entrepreneurial
opportunities for diffusing knowledge and inventions (by independent
inventors, university researchers, customers/users, citizens, etc.). This
special issue will focus on how such OI approaches—in all their
diversity—affect the nature, structure, process, and outcomes of
entrepreneurship. In particular, we invite scholars to focus on the
implications of OI for corporate, university, and social entrepreneurship.
We welcome research that:
(a) applies existing/emergent theoretical perspectives from economics,
sociology, psychology, and other disciplines to improve our understanding of
how the emergence of more open innovation ecosystems and models may reshape
entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial activities;
(b) develops new conceptual models integrating concepts from
entrepreneurship and innovation management to develop a fine-grained
understanding of the diverse new actors and their roles in entrepreneurship
due to the adoption of OI approaches; and,
(c) assesses the impact of the changes in the structure and process of
entrepreneurship driven by OI on technology commercialization.
The submission deadline is May 15, 2015.
