Entrepreneurship

Welcome to the SIG Entrepreneurship!

The purpose of the SIG Entrepreneurship is to develop an ongoing and constructive dialogue among entrepreneurship scholars to conduct research that is relevant for entrepreneurship theory and practice in the contemporary world. The SIG Entrepreneurship aims at promoting research and networking interests in individual and collaborative forms of entrepreneurship by providing a wide-ranging, engaged and internationally focused forum to discuss and develop research and practice in the field.

The SIG Entrepreneurship addresses aims to respond to the broadly acknowledged need within the European entrepreneurship research community for building accepted paradigms and theories within the various subfields of entrepreneurship, while still embracing entrepreneurial forms of organizing in all its diversity as well as novel ways of researching such organizing.
