Abstract:
Many factors are important in entrepreneurship. Yet, entrepreneurship does not happen until individuals take action. Thus, entrepreneurial behavior is critical to the phenomenon of entrepreneurship and venture creation. Entrepreneurial behavior is the study of human behavior involved in identifying and exploiting opportunities through creating and developing new ventures. The major goals of research on entrepreneurial behavior are to explain, predict, and control (shape and change) behavior at the individual and group/team level.
ￜ
Despite the importance of entrepreneurial behavior to the field of entrepreneurship, a recent review of the literature revels it is limited in development and extent (Bird & Schjoedt, 2009). To advance this important area of research, both theoretical and empirical research that consider all aspects of entrepreneurial behavior are encouraged. A representative, but by no means exhaustive, listing of relevant topics includes:
ￜ
Antecedents to entrepreneurial behavior
Psychological factors and entrepreneurial behavior
Sociological factors and entrepreneurial behavior
Economic factors and entrepreneurial behavior
Relationships between opportunity recognition, evaluation and entrepreneurial behavior
Relationships between failure and entrepreneurial behavior
Networks, networking and entrepreneurial behavior
Cross-cultural comparative studies of entrepreneurial behavior
Theoretical and conceptual models of entrepreneurial behavior
Moderators and mediators of entrepreneurial behavior
Relationships between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial behavior
Entrepreneurial behavior in different context – social, family business, etc.
ￜ
Conceptual contributions, literature reviews, scale development, comparative and empirical analyses are encouraged, in form of either complete research papers or research-in-progress.
ￜ
Keywords: Entrepreneur, behavior, teams
