Cases on STEM Entrepreneurship – Call for Submissions

Edward Elgar Publishing

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Deadline extended to 15 January 2022

Cases on STEM Entrepreneurship

A 2017 article on the Wall Street Journal highlighted the various problems faced by STEM students when studying entrepreneurship. The article proposed that instead of studying traditional chief executives, STEM entrepreneurship classes should focus on tech start-ups led by chief executives with a STEM background.

This project will address this critical issue of STEM case study availability for entrepreneurship educators and students.

The Call for Submissions might include case studies relating to any of the following topics:

  • Science-related enterprises
  • Biotech enterprises
  • Technology-related enterprises
  • Civil engineering-related enterprises
  • Mechanical engineering related enterprises
  • Electrical engineering-related enterprises
  • Aeronautical engineering-related enterprises
  • Mathematics-related enterprises
  • Statistics-related enterprises
  • Manufacturing
  • App development
  • University spin-out enterprises
  • Research development

The book will consist of a broad variety of cases to ensure a balance relating to gender, nationality, stage of business development, nature of the problem being addressed and type of business. The ambition of the book is to ensure that educators and students of different backgrounds will have access to case studies that will be of relevance to their program.

Exploring the Relevance of Embeddedness, Networking, Empowerment and Communitarian Values

By

Emeritus Professor Alison Sheridan

Dr Subba Reddy Yarram.

 

Entrepreneurship in Regional Communities

This book offers a unique insight into the theory and practice of regional entrepreneurship drawing upon international, national, and local contexts and literature. The growing importance of the service sector to the local economies is highlighted and further complemented with lived experiences of start-up founders and owner-managers of nascent, established growing and established plateaued firms in the bioregions of Northern Inland New South Wales. Authors find that the doing of regional entrepreneurship relies on place-based entrepreneurial ecosystems, embeddedness to the region, value added business networks, unwavering empowerment, and strong communitarian values. This book presents important theoretical, practical and policy implications to foster economic and social development in regional areas through the entrepreneurial process.
