Introduction
Innovation and entrepreneurship are seen as two of the most critical predictors of firm performance at the micro level and sustainable economic growth at the macro level. This pivotal role of innovation and entrepreneurship is proclaimed to hold sway in developed and developing countries alike. In contrast to the huge literature on developed countries, research on innovation and entrepreneurship in developing countries is relatively scarce. Understanding the driving factors of innovation and entrepreneurship is especially vital in these contexts, as they are key drivers of economic growth and social welfare – both much needed in developing countries.
Inspired by more and better data availability research on innovation and entrepreneurship and developing countries is starting to blossom. The RSAN Spring Conference will bring together scholars and practitioners that have an interest in this emerging and promising field of study and that want to further our understanding of the topic. As the expertise needed to do so resides in various disciplines and sectors, we welcome papers and attendees from all backgrounds.
