Diversity, Innovations, and Entrepreneurship in Post-crisis Periods

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is devoted to publishing fresh research findings relevant to diversity, innovations, and entrepreneurship in post-crisis periods in general, and during the post-COVID-19 pandemic, in particular. Based on the findings, this Special Issue will present a set of implications for scholars and managers. Scholars argue that, in the crisis period, managerial and organizational resources need to be developed to capitalize on team diversities (Tang et al., 2021), to reap the benefits of different nationalities, knowledge areas, and cultures (Bocquet et al., 2019).

Similar topics have been already explored before the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., Belitski et al., 2021). This Special Issue of the Administrative Science journal sheds new light on the post-pandemic relationship between diversity, innovation, and entrepreneurship suggesting new future research opportunities since innovation has been implied as one of the most effective entrepreneurial responses to crises (Bocquet et al., 2019; Wenzel et al., 2020).
