Abstract

This issue marks another step in our growth as an international journal devoted to entrepreneurship aspects. This thematic issue is titled Advancing Research in Entrepreneurship and consists of nine thematic articles and four nonthematic articles. Interest in entrepreneurship as a field of research does not seize to grow and flourish. Entrepreneurship research covers a very broad set of questions relating to a variety of academic disciplines. Much research still focuses on the heart of entrepreneurship to explain the logic and actions that underline entrepreneurial behaviour. Following Shane and Venkataraman (2000) ground setting paper, some authors claim the existing entrepreneurship research can be best split into two domains: exploration and exploitations of opportunity (Carlsson et al., 2013). In spite of immense progress made, entrepreneurship research still remains much polyphonic and emerging perspectives although have much in common with each other, have largely developed and evolved independently (Fisher, 2012). That is why constant exchange and cooperation between the international community of entrepreneurship scholars is important. EBER hopefully contributes to this much needed exchange. From its launch EBER is dedicated to serve as a broad and unified platform for revealing and spreading economics and management research relating to entrepreneurship. Along the way, we have featured several thematic issue devoted specifically to entrepreneurship. We have tried very hard to keep up with the currents global and local (CEE) developments and challenges hoping that this journal will contribute to finding answers to very pressing questions. Authors have recently identified several fields in entrepreneurship research which remain neglected or underdeveloped. These include interactions between entrepreneurship and different types on institutions, the link between entrepreneurship and human welfare, macroeconomic conditions and the role of entrepreneurship in economic growth (Carlsson et al., 2013), as well as the creation of opportunities through human propensities (Ramoglou & Tsang, 2016) and behavioural entrepreneurship research (Fisher, 2012). There are many calls to introduce more structure and consistent theories on one hand and expansion of behavioural aspects of entrepreneurship research on the other. Scott Shane himself admitted that there is still need "identify errors and confusing points" in entrepreneurship research (Shane, 2012, p. 18). Therefore much remains to be done. In the past much attention has been paid by EBER authors to very current developments in entrepreneurship theory and practice such as international aspects of entrepre

“…Entrepreneurship is on one hand a fast-growing research field, and on the other hand a complex and multidimensional phenomenon (Fayolle, 2014;Welter, 2011;Żur & Urbaniec, 2016), as it concerns not only actions of individuals, but also activities within the organizations or systems. Recent literature highlights that entrepreneurship is a context-based phenomenon (Zahra & Wright, 2011;Welter, 2011).…”
