Editorial objectives

In the age of globalisation, China presents a unique environment for organizations. The unprecedented growth of China's economy offers significant potential for both Chinese and foreign investors, and increased levels of competition in the wake of China’s entry into the WTO have resulted in experimentation and risk-taking as ways of doing business in China. On the other hand, the proliferation of small businesses and their increasing importance in the economy mean that the management and growth of such enterprises are ever-more critical in national and regional development. Changes in work patterns and frequent opportunities for innovation make entrepreneurship within organizations - 'intrapreneurship' - a core challenge for large companies. From multinational to micro-enterprise, no business can afford to ignore this issue. An understanding of the nature, process and practice of entrepreneurship will be a key factor in economic success.

However, the uncertainties and ambiguities prevalent in the Chinese business environment are neither well understood nor effectively negotiated by the international investment community. The Journal of Chinese Entrepreneurship is the first journal to focus solely on qualitative and quantitative research in all areas of China business, entrepreneurship, innovation and entrepreneurial marketing, and governmental and industrial policies that inhibit or stimulate entrepreneurship and innovation.

Scope/ Coverage

This journal takes an interdisciplinary approach and focuses on the changing contours of Chinese entrepreneurship research and training and acquaints the readers with the latest trends and directions of explorations in the theory and practice of entrepreneurship in China.For the research section, the Journal of Chinese Entrepreneurship will consider high quality theoretical and empirical academic research articles in the field of entrepreneurship.The ‘Entrepreneurship in practice’ section publishes two types of content under the sub-headings of ‘Industry Insights’ and ‘Case Studies’.  This section will consider both invited pieces and contributed pieces. The papers submitted to ‘Entrepreneurship in practice’ will be subject to an editorial review and not the standard double-blind peer review process associated with the other sections of JCE.

It is envisaged that the majority of articles will be empirical, but there is also scope for review articles, and contributions that focus on developments in the research of Chinese entrepreneurship and innovation.
