The goal of EAP 11 is to explore and re-examine the relation between practices of inquiry in entrepreneurship studies and the forms of knowledge to which they give rise. In line with the theme for this year's conference we seek both conceptually rigorous and empirically relevant contributions that advance entrepreneurship theory and practice.
