About Journal
The Journal of Business Venturing: A Journal Dedicated to Entrepreneurship provides a scholarly forum for sharing useful and interesting theories, narratives, and interpretations of the antecedents, mechanisms, and/or consequences of entrepreneurship.
The journal aspires to deepen our understanding of the entrepreneurial phenomenon in its myriad of forms. The journal publishes entrepreneurship research from (1) the disciplines of economics, psychology, and sociology and welcomes research from other disciplines such as anthropology, geography, history, and so on, (2) the functions of finance/accounting, management, marketing, and strategy and welcomes research from other functions such as operations, information technology, public policy, medicine, law, music, and so on, and (3) the contexts of international and sustainability (environmental and social) and welcomes research from other contexts such as high uncertainty, dynamism, time pressured, emotional, and so on.

General Guidelines for Authors
Articles should not be more than 35 double spaced pages of text in 12 font, which includes title page, abstract (of 100 words or less), tables and figures, but excludes references (references can be in addition to the 35 page limit). Reference lists, tables, and figures should be on separate sheets. Footnotes to the text are to be indicated by superior numbers and are to be placed at the bottom of the page on which they are cited. The title page should be separate and should include full name(s) of authors, affiliations, with city, state, zip code, country, phone, and email information. No identification details of the authors should appear anywhere other than the title page in the manuscript, to protect the blind review process. Papers that violate this rule will be returned without review.
Tables and figures should be on separate sheets with their indication in the text where they are to be placed.
References
Text: All citations in the text should refer to:
1. Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication;
2. Two authors: both authors' names and the year of publication;
3. Three or more authors: first author's name followed by "et al." and the year of publication.
Citations may be made directly (or parenthetically). Groups of references should be listed first alphabetically, then chronologically.
Examples: "as demonstrated (Allan, 1996a, 1996b, 1999; Allan and Jones, 1995). Kramer et al. (2000) have recently shown ...."
List: References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of publication. Examples:
