What is Transitional Entrepreneurship?
Transitional entrepreneurship focuses on entrepreneurship among individuals from communities that face significant adversities in launching ventures and for whom the path involves substantive life transitions. We focus on entrepreneurs from historically marginalized groups, such as veterans, immigrants, refugees, women, and individuals living in economically distressed communities.
As research on transitional entrepreneurs is at an early stage, we welcome papers from multiple perspectives, methodologies, regions, and themes with implications for theory, practice, and policy.
