Abstract

Despite a burgeoning literature on entrepreneurial identity and context, there are still many unchartered research avenues requiring more elaboration. This special issue of the International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation will try to answer some of the challenging issues on entrepreneurial identity and context by examining the topics through taking different empirical and theoretical approaches. The research gaps in the field and emerging trends in this area are discussed in terms of the themes of the articles in the special issue. The editorial concludes by discussing remaining areas worthy of attention and potential research pathways. While the research on entrepreneurial identity and context continues to make progress, it is clear from the articles in this special journal issue there are many more ways that research can develop and extend current thinking.
