Journal of Enterprising Communities

ISSN : 1750-6204
Abbreviation : J. Enterprising Community
Aims & Scope
Increasingly, the events critical to the sustainable prosperity of people (culturally, socially, economically and environmentally), are being played out at the nexus of the local or the community level (people in places), and the trans-national level (corporations, groups and movements of the civil sector, and supranational organizations and agreements).
Enterprises are the vehicles often used by communities of people in pursuit of sustainable prosperity as they define it in this context.
These enterprises are not always, or even often, businesses in the classic sense.
Rather they have much broader goals, many of them social/cultural/environmental rather than economic, and they exhibit diverse forms of ownership, organization and operation.
In a wide variety of places, among diverse groups of people, these efforts are succeeding.
Unfortunately, in many more places and for many groups, such efforts are failing or they are not being attempted at all.
The Journal of Enterprising Communities will both create and inform the debate in this exciting area of research.
Broadly speaking, works published in JEC come from the intersection of two broad areas of research: (i) development studies and (ii) entrepreneurship and venture creation studies.
The common thread creating intersections is the community.
Rigorously written empirical, conceptual and review papers are welcome, as are case studies.
From development studies broadly conceived, we look for submissions to examine sustainable development, bottom of the pyramid development, indigenous development, grass roots development, and the like.
As well, we look for submissions that explore the mechanisms for development such as micro finance, fair trade, free trade, environment and other special branding, and so on.
