Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal is a peer-reviewed academic journal that examines the intersection of Entrepreneurship and Strategic management with emphasis on firm-level strategy, innovation, and competitive advantage. Founded in 2007, the journal publishes empirical, theoretical, and conceptual work that bridges scholarship associated with Harvard Business School, Stanford Graduate School of Business, London Business School, and complementary research traditions from University of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, INSEAD, and University of Michigan. It serves scholars affiliated with institutions such as Columbia Business School, University of California, Berkeley, Northwestern University, Michigan State University, and Yale School of Management.

History

The journal was launched in 2007 under the auspices of editorial leadership drawn from scholarship influenced by figures at Harvard Business School, University of Chicago Booth School of Business, Wharton School, and Kellogg School of Management. Early contributors included researchers working alongside landmarks like Schumpeter, whose theories informed entrepreneurship research at London School of Economics, and scholars linked to programs at Sloan School of Management and Rotman School of Management. Over time the journal attracted submissions from academics associated with University of Southern California, Duke University, Cornell University, University of Texas at Austin, and Georgetown University. Special issues and symposia engaged networks around conferences such as the Academy of Management annual meeting, the Strategic Management Society conference, and workshops hosted by European Academy of Management.

Scope and Focus

The journal emphasizes research that integrates perspectives from institutions including Max Planck Society, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Australian National University, and engages topics salient to policymakers from bodies like Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and practitioners at McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, and Bain & Company. Research areas often intersect with scholarship produced at Princeton University, Brown University, University of Notre Dame, Indiana University Bloomington, Vanderbilt University, and Rice University. Authors examine phenomena drawing on cases from firms such as Apple Inc., Toyota Motor Corporation, Siemens, Google LLC, Amazon (company), Microsoft, General Electric, Samsung, and BMW. The scope includes empirical studies using datasets from sources like Compustat, CRSP, and archives associated with institutions such as National Bureau of Economic Research.

Editorial Structure and Policies

Editorial leadership has historically involved scholars with affiliations to University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, University of Warwick, IE Business School, and HEC Paris. Peer review follows standards comparable to those in journals tied to Academy of Management Review, Strategic Management Journal, Journal of Business Venturing, and Administrative Science Quarterly. The journal enforces policies on research transparency and reproducibility aligned with guidelines promoted by Committee on Publication Ethics and editorial practices common to publishers such as Wiley-Blackwell and Springer Nature. Submission and review procedures reflect norms seen at outlets affiliated with American Economic Association, Royal Economic Society, and editorial boards drawn from universities including University of Toronto and University of Melbourne.

Abstracting and Indexing

The journal is indexed in major databases and services similar to those used by journals from Clarivate, Scopus, and offerings connected to EBSCO Information Services, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. Citation metrics are tracked by platforms managed by Clarivate Analytics and services used by researchers at Institute for Scientific Information, National Institutes of Health, and institutions relying on Web of Science. Libraries at Library of Congress, British Library, Bibliothèque nationale de France, and university systems such as State University of New York and University of California list the journal in their serials.

Notable Articles and Contributions

The journal has published influential articles that have shaped debates at symposia hosted by Academy of Management, influenced policy papers at European Commission, and informed case studies taught at Harvard Business School and INSEAD. Noteworthy contributions have examined firm entry and exit trends in markets dominated by incumbents like Ford Motor Company, Procter & Gamble, and Walmart. Empirical pieces have used methodologies practiced by scholars at London School of Economics, University of Chicago, and Columbia University, and have been cited in work by recipients of awards such as the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences and recognitions from Academy of International Business.

Impact and Reception

Scholars across departments at University of Edinburgh, King's College London, University of Hong Kong, National University of Singapore, and Peking University reference the journal alongside established venues like Journal of Management Studies and Organization Science. It is recognized in promotion and tenure evaluations at schools including Imperial College London, Said Business School, Melbourne Business School, and Rotterdam School of Management. Reviews in academic forums and commentary at conferences such as Strategic Management Society meetings have highlighted the journal's role in bridging scholarship from Aalto University, Stockholm School of Economics, and Zurich University of Applied Sciences.
