Abstract
The context of 21st-century globalization has witnessed a shift toward an entrepreneurial and innovation economy (Schumpeter, 1942/1987). Intersecting with these changes is the increasingly distributed and fluid nature of workplace activities as information, signs, symbols, actors, discourses, narratives, policies, and objects flow across borders, or “scapes” (Appadurai, 1996). This deeply contested process entails unequal encounters across difference that are linked to new arrangements of culture and power (Tsing, 2005). This special issue on innovation, entrepreneurship, and globalization is a call to look more fully at this process and the complex manner in which it is tied to shifting identities, literacies, mobilities, geographies, and the growth of start-up ecosystems worldwide. In making this call, this special issue builds on an emergent body of technical and professional communication (TPC) scholarship in entrepreneurship (Doheny-Farina, 1992; Gerding & Vealey, 2017; Jones, 2017; Lauren & Pigg, 2016a, 2016b; Lucas
期刊介绍:
JBTC is a refereed journal that provides a forum for discussion of communication practices, problems, and trends in business, professional, scientific, and governmental fields. As such, JBTC offers opportunities for bridging dichotomies that have traditionally existed in professional communication journals between business and technical communication and between industrial and academic audiences. Because JBTC is designed to disseminate knowledge that can lead to improved communication practices in both academe and industry, the journal favors research that will inform professional communicators in both sectors. However, articles addressing one sector or the other will also be considered.
