International Journal of Technology Management (IJTM)

The formation of new ventures plays a decisive role in the social and economic develop- ment and is often based on technological innovations. In recent times, especially electronic information technologies (e.g. internet applications, ITV or mobile services) have led to a considerable amount of newly founded companies. The ongoing rapid technological development within the so called net economy allows for even more innovative business models. Young companies are likely to implement such business models based on electronic information and communication networks. Therefore, the term “E-Entrepreneurship” was coined, which describes the formation of new ventures within the net economy.

Against this background, the special issue “E-Entrepreneurship” will highlight the specifics of technology based venturing in the net economy. Central aspects will deal with management, product/service, financing, processes and market access/network of net economy start-ups. The forthcoming special issue of the International Journal of Technology Management will focus on emerging approaches to the theory, measurement and management of start-ups in the net economy
