Dear Hossain;

I hope you are fine.

Then, as you know, we live in "age of migration". Thus, many fields of MO discipline is affected by this fact. As a result, concepts such as "immigrant entrepreneurship", "ethnic entrepreneurship", "diaspora entrepreneurship", "refugee entrepreneurship" in entrepreneurship field become important.

Another crucial point that bears a great potential for field of entrepreneurship is "Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)". There are so many studies investigating ICT as a antecedent and consequence of entrepreneurial activities. In this manner, some concepts such "digital entrepreneurship", "netpreneurship", "ontrepreneurship" etc. gain importance.

In addition, in "Strategic Management (SM)" field, my recommendation for a rising field is "Strategy as Practice (SAP)". It is a relatively new (but swiftly instutionalized as well) SM approach that enables us to understand SM at a micro level lenses. May be you know, there are constant sessions in some conferences on SM or MO. So, in my opinion, it is a rising star of SM field.

Studies integrating institutional theory with SM seem very popular as well. These studies often present this view as an alternative or complementary to Industrial Organization Based SM and Resource Based SM views.

Finally, these ideas above were my ideas. However, these links below may be helpful for you for alternative ideas about hot topics in the field.

Best regards,

Mehmet

Article Classics in Entrepreneurship Research: Enduring Insights, Fu...

Social innovation. With 17 sustainable development goals being embraced by companies, there is need for this research. this is evidenced by recent call for papers by journal of product innovation and management and others

Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG,

Research shows that not every citizen becomes an entrepreneur because personality traits such as management, decision making, investment risk acceptance, etc. are also important. In knowledge-based economies, activation of innovation and entrepreneurship is one of the important factors of economic growth. In developed countries, information, innovations, new technologies and entrepreneurship are considered to be one of the most important factors for the economic development of a given country and, as a consequence, also for economic growth measured, for example, with the Gross Domestic Product in subsequent years. In addition, scientific research and research and implementation works are carried out in these topics, which further emphasize the high level of significance of innovation, new technologies and entrepreneurship in modern national economies. In recent years, cooperation programs of research and R&D centers with enterprises have been developed in some countries in order to activate entrepreneurship and innovation of business entities. As part of this cooperation, scientific research and research and implementation works are carried out in these topics, which further emphasize the high level of significance of innovation, new technologies and entrepreneurship in contemporary national economies. Clusters are created under which enterprises undertake cooperation with other business entities, scientific centers, research and implementation centers, universities and public sector institutions to exchange experience, transfer knowledge, conduct and develop joint research and implementation projects, including innovative technological and process solutions. , research, organizational and other. In recent years, an increase in entrepreneurship has been observed in many countries in the field of establishment and development of enterprises and developing companies thanks to the implementation of new information technologies, internet new media, advanced information processing and other technologies of the present, fourth technological revolution known as Industry 4.0 into economic processes. In recent years, entrepreneurship has been growing in the field of business development in the field of using online marketing innovations, including primarily in the field of viral marketing on social media websites. Research shows that some micro-enterprises are developing without product, process, technological, marketing innovations, etc. However, many technological startups currently base their development and competitive advantage on technological, product, service, marketing or other innovations. Banks are reluctant to grant investment loans to newly created startups basing their development on innovative technologies. In such a situation, innovative startups are created and financed from such external financing sources as investment funds, business angels, issue of securities, crowdfunding and others. In my opinion, crowdfunding will grow intensively in the future as an alternative to classic forms of external financing of business ventures. It is an alternative to the offer of financial services of financial sector institutions, especially in the segment of financing innovative start-ups. Commercial banks operating as part of classic deposit and credit banking often avoid lending to innovative start-ups due to difficulties in assessing credit risk. In this situation, crowdfunding can be a good solution to problems finding external financing. On the other hand, the importance of cryptocurrencies that operate outside of institutionalized and centralized financial systems is growing. Perhaps in the future cryptocurrencies will be displacing traditional currency from online financial transactions between fintechs, financial institutions, innovative startups, online technology companies operating social media portals and their clients, and between users of these portals. In addition, it is necessary to improve the security of financial transactions made on the Internet and settlements carried out as part of online mobile banking. Therefore, blockchain technology is developing, which is used in securing transactions and transmitting data on the Internet. More and more large companies announce the creation of their own cryptocurrency. Some investment banks, such as JP Morgan, have announced the creation of their own cryptocurrency for settlements with key contractors. Some technology companies operating in the field of ICT and new online media are also planning to develop blockchain technology in cryptocurrency applications. For example, the social media Facebook site also announced the creation of its own critical currency called Libra, which users of the portal will be able to pay for various services available through Facebook. Some investment funds invest their financial capital in some cryptocurrencies. Another issue determining the development of open innovations that are used on the Internet are technologies typical of the current technological revolution, Industry 4.0. The current technological revolution referred to as Industry 4.0 is determined by the development of the following advanced information processing technologies, which include, among others, Big Data database technologies, cloud computing, machine learning, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, Business Intelligence and other advanced data processing technologies Data Mining. The technologies for advanced information processing listed above are increasingly used in various fields of industry, production of goods and provision of services. The number of industries, branches of economic activity and sectors of the national economy is growing, in which advanced information processing technologies typical of the current fourth technological revolution known as Industry 4.0 are used. ICT information technologies and advanced information processing technologies co-creating the current technological revolution Industry 4.0 have in recent years been a key factor in the emergence of new technological innovations and other applications applicable in various branches of the national economy. These innovations are becoming the main factor in the development of innovative startups and technology companies operating on the Internet. In macroeconomic terms, on the other hand, these technological and other innovations are an important factor in the development of modern knowledge-based economies and can have a significant impact on the economic growth rate of a developed and developing economy. I described these issues in my publications, which are available on the Research Gate portal. I invite you to scientific cooperation.
