CfP. International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business Special Issue

The special issue on Anatomy of Cultural and Creative Entrepreneurship: Past, Present and Future seeks to identify the epistemological development of cultural and creative entrepreneurship over time. More specifically, the objective is to detect the paradigmatic shifts in this field, to gain an understanding of its evolution, trajectory changes, present state and possible future developments. The deadline for submissions is 20 April 2017.

The aim is to initiate constructive discussions on selected issues concerning cultural and creative entrepreneurship, which will frame the future research agenda. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

Theories and Concepts - Is there a theoretical core in cultural and creative entrepreneurship? Are the theories that are used and taught simply re-contextualised entrepreneurship theories? Are there some main ideas and concepts that have emerged over the last decades that could point to an emerging differentiation and a distinct identity for cultural and creative entrepreneurship? To what extent do cultural and creative entrepreneurship differ from other varieties of entrepreneurship? What are the shared grounds of cultural and creative entrepreneurship with the other varieties of entrepreneurship? Focusing on the last two decades, what research themes and trends have been most consistent within the field of cultural and creative entrepreneurship? Why and how can we explain their consistency?
Cultural and Creative Entrepreneurship Education - How has the cultural and creative entrepreneurship curriculum developed over the last two decades? Are the existing programmes capturing the specificity of culture and creativity entrepreneurship or simply reproducing the formats adopted in business school environments for teaching entrepreneurship? Are there significant changes? From an historical perspective, what can we say about the paradigms in cultural and creative entrepreneurship education so far? Are there any relevant links between the theory and the education practice?

All papers must be submitted online.
