Technovation

REQUEST TO THE TECHNOVATION COMMUNITY At Technovation Elsevier we strive to disseminate and acknowledge our research papers’ relevance by driving societal transformation, whether it be at the policymaking, administrative, managerial, or economic levels. In light of this, we encourage our colleagues, who have previously contributed to Technovation Elsevier, to inform us of the impact their paper(s) may have had. This impact could manifest through various avenues, such as informing and stimulating new policy and academic discussions, influencing the development and management of innovative technologies (e.g., patents), creating new managerial tools, influencing actions or changing the mindset of practitioners, initiating projects that engage society, or even embarking on impact activities such as public engagement in person or through media platforms. Evidence of such relevance can include, but not be limited to, reports, web links or other publicly available sources of information about organizations, including in society, industry, charities and government, that benefited from research outputs published in Technovation Elsevier, as well as statements provided by beneficiaries and empirical metrics demonstrating the impact. We would appreciate if you could please get in touch with us to provide us with further evidence. Georgina.Jiang@elsevier.com Thank you!!!

[Deadline approaching] Technovation invites manuscripts on "Digital Technologies and #Crowdfunding for #Entrepreneurship in Emerging Markets" This special issue explores how digital technologies can be better utilized to enhance crowdfunding for entrepreneurship in emerging markets. In emerging or developing countries with limited access to digital technologies, offline crowdfunding activities still hold significance. These activities include community-based crowdfunding, offline crowdfunding events, local business sponsorships, traditional savings and lending circles, and print media/flyers. However, in recent times, crowdfunding platforms have attracted funding from a wider range of investors to allow entrepreneurs to showcase their ideas and projects to a large audience. This SI will provide a more solid understanding of the potential to improve funding availability for entrepreneurs. This is likely to democratize access to funding in emerging markets and open opportunities globally. Thus, it is important to examine the role of digital technologies in supporting crowdfunding in emerging markets’ entrepreneurial ventures. This special issue aims to provide a dedicated platform for researchers to explore and analyze the ways in which digital technologies support crowdfunding for entrepreneurial ventures based in emerging markets. We encourage scholars to contribute to this field of study by submitting articles in the form of case studies, theoretical papers, and empirical papers that utilize data from entrepreneurial ventures operating across various emerging markets. The scope of this special issue is inclusive, and we do not impose specific theoretical or methodological preferences. Researchers are encouraged to employ diverse theoretical frameworks and methodologies that suit their research objectives and context. We welcome high-quality submissions encompassing qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method approaches, recognizing each methodological approach's value in understanding the complexities of digital technologies and crowdfunding in emerging markets. We encourage authors to present rigorous and innovative research that advances the understanding of how digital technologies facilitate the crowdfunding for entrepreneurship landscape in emerging markets. Submissions should contribute new insights, generate practical implications, and pave the way for further research in this field. The ultimate goal is to foster knowledge dissemination, inform policy discussions, and support entrepreneurial endeavours in emerging markets by effectively utilising digital technologies in crowdfunding activities. Guest Editors: Nadia Zahoor, Dr Albert Danso, Jie Wu, Samuel Adomako, Zaheer Khan Submission deadline: June 30, 2024 More info: https://lnkd.in/eUEGWXZV
