Abstract
The September 2010 issue of the Journal of Developmental Entrepreneurship is dedicated to our referees. Thorough, critical but also constructive reviews of journal manuscript submissions is one of the most unselfish and important contributions made by members of our profession to other members of our profession! Peer reviews represent the foundation for enhancement of scholarly research. This Journal would just not function without the time and effort committed by our reviewers. We thank you! Our first article of the issue, Gender Differences In Entrepreneurial Intentions: Evidence from Bulgaria, sheds light on gender differences in the pre-venture process and the factors mediating the relationship between gender and entrepreneurial intentions. Desislava Yordanova and Maria-Antonia Tarrazon provide a conceptual framework for understanding gender differences in entrepreneurial intentions. The study by Juan Carlos Ayala Calvo and Guadalupe Manzano Garcia examines the effects of various factors on the success of established business owners. In their Established Business Owners’ Success: Influencing Factors, the authors consider the impact of human entrepreneurial capital and aspects of the characteristics of the firm. In our third article, African-American Entrepreneurial Venues and Social Capital, Phillip Cochrane uses social capital theory as the background, and tests the hypothesis that social capital is a determinant of whether AA entrepreneurs choose to function in the formal or informal economies. Lisa Servon, Anne Visser and Rob Fairlie focus on the capital needs of small enterprises. Their article, The Continuum of Capital for Small and Micro-Enterprises analyzes the amount of capital used by firms of different sizes and the sources of capital used by firms of different sizes to assess how capital needs and sources differ for those businesses with less than 20 employees. Juita-Elena (Wie) Yusuf’s article, Making Sense of Entrepreneurial Outcomes Measurements in the Literature: Suggestions for Researchers and Policymakers, addresses three questions: (1) How has entrepreneurial outcome been measured? (2) How can these measurements be categorized? (3) What measures are most appropriate and when? The author provides us with an inventory of existing measures and presents two frameworks through which to understand how they can be organized.
