Entrepreneurship is becoming increasingly important as
a scholarly field. Small Business Economics provides an invaluable forum
for research and scholarship focusing on the role of entrepreneurship and small
business. The journal has a broad scope and focuses on multiple dimensions of
entrepreneurship, including entrepreneurs' characteristics, new ventures and
innovation, firms' life cycles; as well as the role played by institutions and
public policies within local, regional, national and international contexts.
Small Business Economics publishes theoretical, empirical, and conceptual
papers and encourages interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research from a
broad spectrum of disciplines and related fields, including economics, finance,
management, psychology, regional studies, sociology and strategy.
Founded and edited by
Indiana University's David B. Audretsch and the
University of Baltimore's Zoltan Acs, Small Business Economics: An
International Journal
has risen to become
one of the two important academic journals
focusing on entrepreneurship to business schools.
In "Many Business Schools Add Classes on Entrepreneurship" the
Chronicle of Higher Education (January 24, 1997) concludes that
"entrepreneurship is an interdisciplinary field which doesn't lend itself to
narrow scholarly research ... That appears to be changing, however. More
academic journals focusing on entrepreneurship are being started, such as ...
the journal of Small Business Economics."
Small Business Economics has become a premier academic
journal since it was founded to focus on entrepreneurship and small business.
Small Business Economics enjoys high international exposure and has
published the leading state-of-the-art research spanning a number of business
and management disciplines as well as social science fields.
