The new Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal is rapidly becoming one of my favorite reads. (And not just because I’m the SEJ’s #1 author — it’s true, when my colleagues and I submitted this paper, we were assigned manuscript number SEJ-0001.) Here’s a call for papers for a special issue on international entrepreneurship edited by Douglas Cumming, Don Siegel, and Mike Wright. The call lists several potential research questions::

How do government policies impact incentives to form strategic alliances among entrepreneurial firms in domestic versus foreign settings?

What is the role of laws and public policy in stimulating transnational and returning entrepreneurs?

What is the role of social networks in international entrepreneurship?

What factors lead to the success of immigrant entrepreneurs in different countries?

What is the interaction between public policy and foreign investment in entrepreneurial ventures?

What explains international differences in governmental policies regarding intellectual property, entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurial finance?

How does international entrepreneurship affect firm performance?

How important is product and geographic focus for entrepreneurial success within different public policy settings?

What are the implications of corporate entrepreneurship for multinational companies?

How do corporate governance regulations impact international entrepreneurship?

How do venture capitalists and private equity firms make decisions in an international context, including the decision to make cross-border investments and how to enter international markets?

What is the role of academic entrepreneurship in various nations? Is their convergence or divergence in policies to stimulate academic entrepreneurship?

How do universities stimulate international technology transfer and commercialization?

What is the relative importance of patenting, licensing, and property-based institutions, such as science parks and incubators in stimulating entrepreneurship in various nations?

Submissions are due 31 December. Accepted papers will be presented at a conference at York University in April.
