International Journal of Business and Emerging Markets http://www.inderscience.com/ijbem
Editors: Dr. V. P. Wani, National Institute of Technology, India Dr. Satyendra Singh, University of Winnipeg, Canada
Entrepreneurship is the essence of economic development, but it cannot exist without technological innovation. Science Parks, Innovation Centres and Technology Business Incubators are similar initiatives in creating an environment for innovation and entrepreneurship. These initiatives foster interactions between academia and industry for sharing ideas and experiences and for developing new technology in order to transfer it to the end-users through SMEs. Merely, creating such facilities, planning programmes and delivering training is not sufficient; equally important is the vision and strategy that educate entrepreneurs and empower them for change.
Given the role of academia in developing entrepreneurship for sustainable development of SMEs, the aim of this special issue is to provide a common platform to researchers, scholars and practitioners to address issues relating to the subjects mentioned in the next section. Manuscripts based on entrepreneurial and innovation orientations are particularly suitable for this issue; so are the comparative studies conducted in developing countries.
