Abstract

Researchers have widely acknowledged entrepreneurial alertness (EA) as one of the most influential aspects of the key concept of opportunity recognition. Systematic literature reviews and meta-analysis have demonstrated quite unambiguously that alertness leads to entrepreneurial actions, which facilitates the overall entrepreneurial process. In this paper, we provide an overview of the extant research on EA. We also introduce the seven new papers included in this special issue of Asia Pacific Journal of Management on entrepreneurial alertness. These manuscripts offer a broad range of novel insights into the conceptualization, measurement, and nomological network of, as well as the antecedents and consequences of, EA in the context of the Asia Pacific region. We also discuss common themes and directions for future research on EA.
