Abstract
Researchers have widely acknowledged entrepreneurial alertness (EA) as one of the most influential aspects of the key concept of opportunity recognition. Systematic literature reviews and meta-analysis have demonstrated quite unambiguously that alertness leads to entrepreneurial actions, which facilitates the overall entrepreneurial process. In this paper, we provide an overview of the extant research on EA. We also introduce the seven new papers included in this special issue of Asia Pacific Journal of Management on entrepreneurial alertness. These manuscripts offer a broad range of novel insights into the conceptualization, measurement, and nomological network of, as well as the antecedents and consequences of, EA in the context of the Asia Pacific region. We also discuss common themes and directions for future research on EA.
期刊介绍:
The Asia Pacific Journal of Management publishes original manuscripts on management and organizational research in the Asia Pacific region, encompassing Pacific Rim countries and mainland Asia. APJM focuses on the extent to which each manuscript addresses matters that pertain to the most fundamental question: “What determines organization success?” The major academic disciplines that we cover include entrepreneurship, human resource management, international business, organizational behavior, and strategic management. However, manuscripts that belong to other well-established disciplines such as accounting, economics, finance, marketing, and operations generally do not fall into the scope of APJM. We endeavor to be the major vehicle for exchange of ideas and research among management scholars within or interested in the broadly defined Asia Pacific region.Key features include:
Rigor - maintained through strict review processes, high quality global reviewers, and Editorial Advisory and Review Boards comprising prominent researchers from many countries.
Relevance - maintained by its focus on key management and organizational trends in the region.
Uniqueness - being the first and most prominent management journal published in and about the fastest growing region in the world.
