Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main study in my dissertation posits that prospective entrepreneurs face a spectrum of entrepreneurial choices rather than a binary employment-entrepreneurship decision and explores how cognitive determinants influence these choices. I construct a novel dataset in the real estate brokerage industry, one in which all individuals are self-employed but the roles they pursue vary in degree of risk, autonomy and returns to talent. I find differences in specialized and general talent, risk attitudes and overconfidence help predict sorting into these roles, suggesting that past research that relies solely on a self-employment definition of entrepreneurship or on uni-dimensional drivers has obscured these more complex choices.

Book excerpt: While entrepreneurs are hailed as the key to innovation and growth, in industries where these benefits are most desired, government regulations may handicap entrepreneurs and dampen these benefits. Given the importance of both entrepreneurship and regulation to improving social outcomes, it is imperative for entrepreneurship scholars and policy makers to better understand these apparently countervailing forces of free entry and regulation. This work investigates the impact of regulations on competition, entry, and innovation (productivity) using the quasi-experimental properties of the U.S. bail bond industry. The results suggest it is possible to design regulations without inhibiting the benefits of entrepreneurship.

Book excerpt: This dissertation analyzes how government regulations can affect entrepreneurship and small business performance. In my first essay, I focus on the relationships between occupational licensing regulation and key business outcomes. In the second essay, I explore whether businesses started as franchises survive longer than those launched as independent businesses, and whether there is a link between state franchise relationship regulation aimed at preventing franchisor opportunism and the survival of franchised businesses. In the final essay, I analyze how personal bankruptcy laws affect entrepreneurship. All three essays rely on confidential U.S. Census Bureau micro-data.

Book excerpt: This dissertation offers insight into the effect of regulation on various aspects of growth and development. Exploiting plausibly exogenous variation generated by deregulatory events, I assess firms' response to the lifting of size restrictions. In Chapter One, I show that bank branching deregulation increased mortgage lending and home ownership, especially among marginal groups. In Chapter Two, I find that the dismantling of an Indian business regulation constraining investment leads to an increase in firm size, output and productivity.

Download or read book Does the Order of Partner Selection Matter Evidence from the Bio Pharmaceutical Industry Dissertation Executive Summary written by Nachiket Bhawe and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I investigate how entrepreneurs' choice of first partner influences the likelihood and type second partner and the effect of partner order on outcomes for new ventures in the bio-pharmaceutical industry. Ventures match up with generic resource firms as their first choice partners, while specialized resource partners prefer to wait till the underlying technology matures. Generic resource first partners enable selection of specialized second partners while specialized first partners inhibit the likelihood of a second partner. Identifying the right order in partner selection helps entrepreneurs access capabilities from multiple and diverse sets of partners improving their performance and financial growth.

Download or read book Entrepreneurship Safari written by Héctor Rocha and published by Now Publishers Inc. This book was released on 2007 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We propose a model that links seven different conceptions of entrepreneurship and maps them in relation to eight associated disciplines and theories, specifying their corresponding units and levels of analysis and stage in the entrepreneurial process. Entrepreneurship scholars are attempting to either carve out a distinctive domain for the field or build a distinctive theory of entrepreneurship. However, an obstacle for understanding entrepreneurship is the lack of integration of the assumptions implicit in different conceptualizations of entrepreneurship. We contribute a scholarship of integration approach for understanding the phenomena underlying these conceptualizations and linking entrepreneurship domain, theory, method, and policymaking.
Download or read book Researching Entrepreneurship written by Per Davidsson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-04-18 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entrepreneurship is a phenomenon of tremendous societal importance. It is also an elusive phenomenon, and researching entrepreneurship is therefore fun, fascinating and frustrating at times. In Researching Entrepreneurship, Per Davidsson, one of the most highly recognized entrepreneurship scholars shares in a personal and readable way his rich experience and ideas on how entrepreneurship can or should be researched. After a comprehensive treatment of entrepreneurship as societal phenomenon and scholarly domain, the core chapters of the book discuss design, sampling, operationalization and analysis issues on several levels of analysis: individual, venture, firm, industry, region and nation. The book is targeted at doctoral students and other relative newcomers to the field of entrepreneurship research. However, taking a fresh, reflective perspective and looking beyond research conventions, it should provide potential for inspiration and food for thought also for experienced entrepreneurship researchers.
