Diversification, risk, and returns in venture capital
Axel Buchner | Abdulkadir Mohamed | Armin Schwienbacher
Highlights
We explore the impact of industry and stage diversification on risk and return of VC funds.
We find that diversification affects downside and upside risk differently.
Deviation from previous diversification choices affects negatively performance.
Where did interpretivism go in the theory of entrepreneurship?
Mark D. Packard
Highlights
Interpretivism may be more appropriate for studying entrepreneurship than realism.
Realism runs into problems of paradigm incommensurability, whereas interpretivism does not.
Entrepreneurship is the intentional pursuit of new economic value.
An interpretivist research program for entrepreneurship is introduced.
Entrepreneurial orientation and its effect on sustainability decision tradeoffs: The case of sustainable fashion firms
Lori DiVito | René Bohnsack
Highlights
An examination of the entrepreneurial orientation and sustainability orientation of sustainable entrepreneurs.
Identification of three sustainability decision making profiles (singular, flexible and holistic) with distinct prioritization logic (nested, ordered and aligned, respectively).
Examine how different configurations of entrepreneurial orientation correspond to the sustainability decision making profiles.
Imagery of ad-venture: Understanding entrepreneurial identity through metaphor and drawing
Jean Clarke | Robin Holt
Highlights
Entrepreneurs make sense of their identity through metaphor
The modality of drawing allows entrepreneurs to reflectively and critically create metaphors of their experience
Visual metaphors allow entrepreneurs to express the complex and often contradictory nature of their entrepreneurial existence.
Small but attractive: Dimensions of new venture employer attractiveness and the moderating role of applicants' entrepreneurial behaviors
Kilian J. Moser | Andranik Tumasjan | Isabell M. Welpe
Highlights
We study the importance of startups' employer attributes for perceived employment attractiveness from the applicants' perspective.
Applicants' entrepreneurial behaviors and background characteristics affect the importance of different employer attributes of new ventures.
Our results contribute to human resource management in general and startup employee recruitment research in particular.
Jacks-(and Jills)-of-all-trades: On whether, how and why gender influences firm innovativeness
Robert Strohmeyer | Vartuhi Tonoyan | Jennifer E. Jennings
Highlights
This study examines whether, how and why gender affects firm innovativeness.
Our theorizing draws upon and extends jack-of-all trades (JAT) theory.
We find significant (but not invariant) gender gaps in innovation breadth and depth.
The gaps are partially mediated by gender differences in degree of JAT resemblance.
Gendered workforce experiences contribute to females less closely resembling a JAT.
Accountability for social impact: A bricolage perspective on impact measurement in social enterprises
Greg Molecke | Jonatan Pinkse
Highlights
This paper examines how social entrepreneurs handle the pressure to measure social impact with formal measurement methods.
The findings show that social entrepreneurs tend to use bricolage for social impact measurement.
In creating their social accounts, social enterprises combine material and ideational bricolage.
Social entrepreneurs use delegitimization of existing social impact methodologies to create space for their bricolaged accounts.
A theory of entrepreneurship and institutional uncertainty
Per L. Bylund | Matthew McCaffrey
Highlights
We investigate the relationship between entrepreneurs and uncertainty.
We clarify the structure of entrepreneurial action with respect to institutions.
We analyze entrepreneurs' inability to deal with regime uncertainty.
We explicate how entrepreneurs deal with institutional uncertainty.
We identify an entrepreneurial rationale for political influence-seeking
