Journal of entrepreneurship in about the
emerging economies (JEEE): future
Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of studies published in the Journal of
Entrepreneurship in Emerging Economies (JEEE) between 2014 and 2019. The review also provides
suggestions for future research in JEEE.
Design/methodology/approach – Integrative literature of 90 empirical and conceptual articles
published in JEEE between 2014 and 2019. The selected articles were analyzed using content analysis.
Findings – Analysis of the 90 published articles shows that JEEE has covered a number of relevant topics
related to entrepreneurship and innovation in emerging economies. In particular, scholars have adopted a
variety of methods to describe such activities in emerging economies. The review also highlights the lack of
comparative studies in JEEE and studies, which significantly take into account or focus on the emerging
economy context.
Practical implications – The findings suggest that future scholars wishing to submit to JEEE should
consider taking a more detailed account of the emerging context.
Originality/value – Since its first publication in 2014, this study represents the first review of articles
found in JEEE. Specifically, the study provides a platform for future scholars wishing to submit to JEEE to
take stock of the studies in the journal, thus giving them a better understanding of the field. The study also
provides directions regarding areas of possible future research, which might be of interest to scholars wishing
to submit to JEEE.

1. Introduction
In 2014, after five years of continuous publication, the Journal of Chinese Entrepreneurship
(JCE) became the Journal of Entrepreneurship in Emerging Economies (JEEE). The rationale
for the change in the name and the scope of the journal was outlined in the Editorial of the
inaugural issue under the new title (Li, 2014), where a principal argument referred to the
growing significance of emerging economies in driving global economic growth,
entrepreneurship and innovation. Li (2014) noted that while the role of emerging economies
in entrepreneurship and innovation had caught the imagination of the world and the
attention of scholars, there was a lack of dedicated outlets to discuss and exchange new
knowledge and ideas on this area. Consequently, JEEE became the first journal to focus on Journal of Entrepreneurship in
Emerging Economies

JEEE Six years on, JEEE as a journal has made tremendous progress. For example, in 2018,
13,5 JEEE received 152 submissions, which was an increase of 48% over the previous year.
Equally impressively, its CiteScore grew from 1.6 in 2017 to 2.2 in 2018 (Scopus, 2020a). As a
mark of its growing popularity and reputation, in 2019, JEEE was also listed in both the
Chartered Association of Business Schools in the United Kingdom (CABS) and Australian
Business Deans Council (ABDC) journal ranking guides (CABS, 2018; ABDC, 2019). The
792 journal has also made continuous progress in the SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), with its SJR
score rising from 0.388 in 2018 to 0.483 in 2019 (SCImago Journal and Country Rank, 2020).
Given its continued growth, it is timely to reflect on the progress made by articles appearing
in JEEE, while also offering suggestions for future research for scholars wishing to submit
to JEEE. Accordingly, this particular study seeks to provide an overview of articles
published in JEEE from 2014 to 2019, while also highlighting areas of future research on the
topic of entrepreneurship and innovation in emerging economies. A core aim of this paper is
to promote a better understanding of the research being published in JEEE, while also
encouraging future scholars to take into account perspectives related to emerging economies
in more detail. It is through the latter approach that we believe that JEEE can strengthen its
standing in the scholarly community and deepen our understanding of entrepreneurship
and innovation in emerging economies.
The above process gave us the basis in which to conduct our review. Specifically, we
focused on what has been currently been published in the journal and the areas/topics,
which warrant future investigation in the journal.

JEEE 4.3 Methods and sampling frame
13,5 Figure 3 provides an overview of the chosen methodologies adopted in reviewed articles.
The majority of the articles appearing in the journal used quantitative techniques such as
hierarchical regressions, structural equation modeling or logit-probit models. For instance,
Molaei et al. (2014) used hierarchical regression analysis to investigate the effects of
entrepreneurial idea dimensions along with the intuitive cognitive style of students on their
806 entrepreneurial intentions. Similarly, Acheampong (2018) used lagged-probit model
estimations to understand the usefulness of financial institution class ties in small
commercial poultry farms’ (SCPFs’) survival in Ghana, while Sonfield et al. (2016) used
analysis of covariance to compare differences between American and Arab/Islamic family
business attributes. Close to a third of the published articles used qualitative methodologies
such as single and multiple case studies, semi-structured interviews and/or systematic
reviews of the literature. Meil and Salzman (2017) drew on a comparative case study
approach to explore how opportunities for growth emerge among smaller innovative
technology entrepreneurial firms in India, while Zheng and Wong (2016) examined how
leadership and ownership emerge in corporations using a single in-depth case study.
Shojaei et al. (2018) on the other hand, conducted 31 detailed interviews to understand
how institutional barriers constrain venture capital (VC) financing in Iran, while Aldairany
et al. (2018) provided a detailed review of 57 peer-reviewed articles to develop an overview of
the literature on entrepreneurship in conflict and post-conflict societies. Only four articles
were found to have used mixed-method approaches, while six articles were conceptual in
nature. For instance, in examining the determinants of Indian students’ entrepreneurial
intentions, Srivastava and Misra (2017) used both a survey instrument and a series of semi-
structured interviews.
Figure 4 provides an overview of the different sampling frames adopted by the
reviewed articles. Approximately, 57% of published articles relied on samples from
either organizations [e.g. SMEs (16 articles) or large organizations (12 articles)] or

owners/managers of enterprises [e.g. entrepreneurs (13 articles) and business owners (11
articles)]. For instance, Pham et al.’s. (2019) data came from the owner-managers of five
family SMEs in Vietnam in their study exploring the role of the father in supporting the son’s
business knowledge and development, while Zhao and Wang (2015) sampled 165 technology
entrepreneurs to examine how such entrepreneurs’ technical and market knowledge and their
intra- and extra-industry ties affect their resource acquisitions. In total, 13 articles were found
to have sampled either high school or university students, to investigate their willingness to
engage in entrepreneurial activity.
In addition to the sampling of enterprises and student populations, 17 articles were found
to sample general populations of emerging economies, such as Valliere (2015), who
investigated entrepreneurial intentions among Cameroonians or Abu Bakar et al. (2017),
who surveyed working adults from Saudi Arabia to determine their willingness to start their
own business. Of these 17 articles, 7 explicitly focused on the experiences of women
regarding their entrepreneurial actives. For instance, Bhardwaj (2014) sampled 150 Indian
women entrepreneurs to examine whether their education and access to training programs
influenced their performance, while Srivastava and Misra (2017) examined the determinants
of entrepreneurial intentions among young Indian women. Only six articles focused on
specific emerging economies as a unit of analysis. For example, Popkova et al. (2018)
compared the Republic of Belarus and the Czech Republic to show how innovations have a
key role in the provision of competitiveness and innovational development of an economy,
while Li et al. (2016) used data from Wuhan, China to develop a framework to evaluate of the
complexities of working in multi-level governance and partnerships and how they add value
to firms in terms of both processes and outcomes.

Yaseen et al. (2018) examined the nature of entrepreneurial behavior among 174 milk
producers in the Pakistani dairy industry, while Mehrotra and Verma’s (2015) study focused
on how Indian social enterprises can enhance the performance by using their networks to
increase their donor and beneficiary pools. The review of articles also identified a rapid
emergence of articles focusing on entrepreneurial activities throughout the economies of
Asia (19 articles) and the Middle-east (11 articles). Studies on Asia (19 articles) tended to
exclusively focus on entrepreneurial activities in China (14 articles) or Hong Kong
(4 articles). The review also identified a growing trend of articles (17 in total) focusing on the
emerging economies of Africa, including those of Nigeria (4 articles), Ethiopia (2 articles)
and Tanzania (2 articles). Articles typically focused on a range of African economies. For
instance, drawing on data from the under-researched country, Madagascar, Urban and
Ratsimanetrimanana (2015) explored how the country’s unique cultural values influenced
the entrepreneurial intentions of its population, while Olomi et al. (2018) examined the
business formalization experiences of four sub-Saharan African countries (Kenya, Ghana,
Rwanda and Tanzania).
From the studies on emerging economies that were reviewed, our analysis only identified
seven specific articles, which focused on the experiences of Latin American countries. For
example, Rehman (2016) used the World Bank Enterprise Survey data on Chilean SMEs to
demonstrate how their resource constraint prevents them from introducing product
innovations and applying for patents. In contrast, Montiel-Campos (2018) used a
representative sample of 52 universities from across the Latin American region in his
analysis of what creates university spin-offs. In addition to the lack of articles focusing on
Latin American countries, the review also revealed a dearth of articles drawing on data from
emerging and in particular transition European economies (three articles). These three
articles focused on the experiences of SMEs in such economies. For example, Dvouletý
(2017) used country-level econometric data to demonstrate the effect of new entrepreneurial
activity on Czech regional economic growth.
It was also observed from the review that there is a lack of articles providing a
comparison among emerging economies or between emerging economies and developed
economies. In fact, only 12 such articles were identified. For example, using data from the
Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, ul Haq et al. (2014) compared entrepreneurial activity

13,5 experiences of Kenya, Ghana, Rwanda and Tanzania with respect to how they regulate their
informal economy. Only five articles were found to provide a comparison of entrepreneurial
activity between emerging and developed economies. For instance, Ratten (2014) compared
the samples of US and Chinese students with respect to their determinants of their cloud
computing adoption behavior. In another article, Sonfield et al. (2016) compared the cultural
810 values of USA and Middle-eastern family business owners.
