The purpose of this PDW is to expand the pool of candidates submitting special issue proposal to top entrepreneurship journals such as Entrepreneurship Theory & Practice (ETP), Journal of Business Venturing (JBV), Journal of Small Business Management (JSBM), Small Business Economics Journal (SBEJ), and Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal (SEJ), to name a few. The overarching goal is to enhance quality, thereby ensuring excellence, diversity, and representation among special issue proposals. This 120-minute PDW will bring together scholars interested in potentially submitting special issue proposals with experienced editors. Participants will pitch proposals in a Dragons’ Den-style session in which the editors pose questions and offer constructive comments. To encourage scholars to push the envelope of the field, the special issue pitches will be followed by roundtables where the ‘pitchers’ and other participants with special issue ideas, will have the opportunity to advance the discussion under the guidance of an editor. This PDW thus promises to deliver a high quality and high-level learning experience to open the ‘black box’ of what it takes to submit winning special issue proposals for top entrepreneurship journals.
