The Columbia Journal of Entrepreneurship and Management examines how new value is created through enterprise. We publish research on the founding, financing, and growth of ventures, on innovation and strategy, and on the management practices that help organisations adapt and compete.

Our scope includes entrepreneurial opportunity and process, innovation and technology management, business strategy, small and medium enterprises and family firms, venture and growth finance, and organisational behaviour. We are equally interested in high-growth start-ups and in social, sustainable, and digital entrepreneurship, and we welcome studies set in emerging as well as established markets.

Submissions may be quantitative, qualitative, or conceptual, but all are assessed for theoretical contribution, methodological soundness, and practical relevance to founders, managers, investors, and policymakers. As an open-access journal, we aim to connect rigorous scholarship with the practice of building and leading organisations, supporting an entrepreneurial ecosystem that turns ideas into durable, well-managed enterprises.

Contributions may be empirical, conceptual, or case-based, examining ventures and managers in settings from nascent start-ups to established firms. We value theory tested against evidence and insight that managers and founders can act upon. Published open access, the journal links scholars, entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers, supporting an ecosystem in which rigorous research informs the practice of building, financing, and leading enterprises that last.
