Journal of Innovation and Entrepreneurship

The term 'design thinking' refers to an emerging holistic practice inspired by the architectural tradition. It encompasses people, culture, and technological dynamics in formulating business solutions. 

The Editors invite submissions to a special collection that will survey the emerging challenges and opportunities that attend design thinking, through the lens of innovation and entrepreneurship. In keeping with the Journal of Innovation and Entrepreneurship’s commitment to looking “across time and space,” we encourage submissions that take historical and geographical context into account.

Topics could include, but are not limited to: 
•         Digital transformation in concert with design thinking
•         Design thinking’s impact on business model innovation
•         Dynamics among people, culture, and technology through a design-thinking lens
•         Innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems in design-thinking context
•         Design thinking’s place in quadruple/quintuple innovation helix architecture
•         Design thinking’s role in achieving smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth

A special collection is akin to a special issue, but it is published online without page constraints. Submissions are currently being evaluated on an ongoing basis, with no set deadline.

What role does art education play in sparking creativity and entrepreneurship? And as digital and emerging creative technologies dramatically change how art is taught from one year to the next, how does such innovation affect how we learn to create? Our Creative Technologies collection explores the art of teaching and the teaching of art, focusing on the impact of innovative technology on art education and the issues that this technology raises. Artists, designers, educators, and technologists engage in this ongoing conversation at the intersection of theory and practice. 

Edited by Elias G. Carayannis (George Washington University, USA) and Richard Jochum (Teachers College, Columbia University, USA).
