The Journal of Entrepreneurial and Organizational Diversity (JEOD), published by Euricse (www.euricse.eu), focuses on the subject of entrepreneurial diversity, encompassing therefore all enterprise types and models. JEOD seeks to serve as the principal outlet for theoretical and empirical research on the entrepreneurial phenomenon in its myriad of forms. We place strong emphasis on the determinants and the effects of entrepreneurial diversity as well as on comparisons between different types of enterprise and their aims. Further, JEOD welcomes research on diversity within particular forms (e.g., different ownership and governance models, companies organized to take social responsibility into account, entrepreneurial networks) as well as studies on new forms, such as social enterprises. JEOD is an international journal published in English. The scientific committee and editorial board are composed of leading scholars from various disciplines, including economists, historians, jurists, political scientists, social psychologists, and sociologists. We aim to publish high quality, path-breaking papers, subject to double-blind peer review. In order to maximize readership, distribution, and consequently visibility in scholarly debate, JEOD is published online in a free, open access format, with articles published as they are accepted. This, along with the use of online submission and peer review software (Editorial Manager), allow for free and rapid communication across the scientific community.
