Call for Papers

There is growing interest in design theory and design science among entrepreneurship and innovation scholars, who appear attracted by the combination of conceptual fruitfulness, scientific rigor, and practical relevance. To help advance this agenda, the DESRIST 2022 track ‘Innovation and Entrepreneurship’ seeks high-quality design science submissions on innovation and entrepreneurship topics. We are open for empirical, conceptual, and constructive works which make a strong contribution to the body of design knowledge by, directly or indirectly, aiming for significant practical ‘value-added.’ Suitable topics are important yet unresolved how-to problems in the innovation and entrepreneurship domain such as: ‘how to design new ventures’, ‘how to design innovation ecosystems,’ or ‘how to design effective entrepreneurship training.’ We also welcome methodical papers providing guidance on how to conduct design science research in the innovation an entrepreneurship space, as well as papers concerned with the conceptual and philosophical underpinnings of innovation and entrepreneurship as design.
