The field of entrepreneurship research: Some significant developments
No full textThis chapter discusses significant developments in the field of entrepreneurship research. These include, but are not limited to: \ud
\ud
- (a) considerable growth in volume, quality, and theory-drivenness; \ud
\ud
- (b) a drift of the main emphasis from small scale and independent ownership towards newness and novelty realized through a multitude of organizational solutions; \ud
\ud
- (c) interest in multiple aspects of the entrepreneurial individual beyond personality; \ud
\ud
- (d) moving beyond the individuals towards teams, networks and social capital; \ud
\ud
- (e) viewing entrepreneurship as a multi-level phenomenon, with increased emphasis on outcomes beyond the individual- and firm-level financial result; \ud
\ud
- (f) realizing the heterogeneous, context-dependent and process nature of entrepreneurial practice, along with the challenges to generalizability and research design that follow from this. \ud
\ud
These developments, including the increased focus on theory and theoretical contributions, have served the field well. This said, the author argues that we are now at a juncture where recognizing a broader set of types of scholarly contributions would be even more beneficial
What it means to be green : an examination of early stage environmental and sustainability focused firms
No full textThis paper examines ‘green’ entrepreneurial nascent and young firms in Australia. Findings of interest in this paper include: ? Green entrepreneurs are more likely to be highly educated and have an extended depth of experience within their industry and are more likely to have started a business prior to their current venture. ? Green entrepreneurs exhibit increased levels of innovation, with an increased focus on new & high technology, R&D and the development of proprietary technology. ? Green entrepreneurs are most likely to be based upon a product rather than a service and have a higher emphasis upon growth when compared with non-green entrepreneurs. ? Green entrepreneurial firms tend to have a longer venture creation process and draw financial resources from a larger number of sources and rely more upon equity as a means of financing their venture.Scott R.

Engagement, persistence, progress and success as theoretically distinct aspects of business creation processes
No full textStarting from the vantage point that explaining success at creating a venture should be the unique contribution—or at least one unique contribution—of entrepreneurship research, we argue that this success construct has not yet been adequately defined an operationalized. We thus offer suggestions for more precise conceptualization and measurement of this central construct. Rather than regarding various success proxies used in prior research as poor operationalizations of success we argue that they represent other important aspects of the venture creation process: engagement, persistence and progress. We hold that in order to attain a better understanding of venture creation these constructs also need to be theoretically defined. Further, their respective drivers need to be theorized and tested separately. We suggest theoretical definitions of each. We then develop and test hypotheses concerning how human capital, venture idea novelty and business planning has different impact on the different assessments of the process represented by engagement, persistence, progress and success. The results largely confirm the stated hypotheses, suggesting that the conceptual and empirical approach we are suggesting is a path towards improved understanding of the central entrepreneurship phenomenon of new venture creation

Method challenges and opportunities in the psychological study of entrepreneurship
No full textGenerated from Introduction: As the title suggests this chapter will discuss a number of method issues that researchers face when doing psychological research on the elusive but important phenomenon we call "entrepreneurship". To get our bearings right, I should explain upfront that these issues will be discussed from the perspective of a researcher who has extensive experience from empirical entrepreneurship research on different levels of analysis and using different theoretical points of departure—including psychological studies on the individual level—but with limited formal training in psychology. While I can claim some expertise as entrepreneurship researcher and took my Ph.D. in a unit for Economic Psychology in a business school, I am not a psychologist. My knowledge of psychology is like an archipelago of islands separated by unknown waters and there is therefore risk that I am naive or ignorant at times regarding how the research problems and opportunities appear from the perspective of psychology proper. What I can offer in return is multi-disciplinary and method insights within the specific domain of entrepreneurship research that do not necessarily come with standard research training in psychology.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Entrepreneurial bricolage and young firm performance : the moderating effect of team composition
No full textMany young firms face significant resource constraints during attempts to develop and grow. One promising theory that explicitly links to resource constraints is bricolage: a construct developed by Levi Strauss (1967). Bricolage aligns with notions of resourcefulness: using what’s on hand, through making do, and recombining resources for new or novel purposes. In this paper we further theorize and test the moderating effects of ownership team composition on bricolage and firm performance. Our findings suggest that team size, strong network ties, and functionality enhance the effects of bricolage in young firm performance
