This book was released on 2016 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation explores the link between corporate governance and corporate entrepreneurship. Surprisingly, our understanding of how boards of directors influence corporate entrepreneurship decisions and actions has been limited to date. To address this gap, the current study develops a resource dependence theoretical framework to investigate how corporations leverage directors’ experience and networks to enhance organizational rejuvenation efforts. Entrepreneurial orientation also is examined as a contextual factor in the director capital-corporate entrepreneurship relationship. After collecting an original dataset of 2,289 firm-year observations from 524 U.S. corporations and creating a new measure of organizational rejuvenation, I implemented a hybrid methodological approach to simultaneously test the within- and between-firm influences of the variables of interest. The analytical results demonstrate surprising reverse effects of director human capital, social capital, and the contextual influence of entrepreneurial orientation on firms’ corporate entrepreneurship initiatives. These findings support prior theoretical arguments that directors serve a dual role: not only monitoring and controlling firm decisions but also serving an important advice and counsel function.

Download or read book The Effect of Social Capital Human Capital on Social Entrepreneurial Orientation Among Undergraduate Students written by Abdullah Ali Sallam and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contemporary times, social capital and human capital have become important topics for business practitioners and academics. Because the entrepreneurship environment has become more competitive, the need to develop and improve social capital and human capital has become crucial. Despite the importance of social capital and human capital, researches linking these concepts to the social entrepreneurial orientation of students are very limited. Through an extensive literature view, this study has found a theoretical link between social capital, human capital and social entrepreneurial orientation and also developed a conceptual model for empirical validations. This study serves not only to clarify the relationships among social capital, human capital, and social entrepreneurial orientation; it also helps to explain the role that entrepreneurial awareness plays as a mediator in this relationship, which most studies have neglected. Lastly, the study contributes to the debate about whether human capital or social capital is most vital for entrepreneurs.
Download or read book Entrepreneurship Human Capital and Regional Development written by Rui Baptista and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-14 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes original contributions to the literature on clusters, human capital, and regional development by focusing on the link between entrepreneurship and economic growth, aiming for a better understanding of the dynamics of growth determined by the entrepreneur’s action in the regional space. The focus is therefore on critical reflection and rethinking the articulation between three levels of analysis of economic systems, namely entrepreneurship, human capital and regional development, which have not so far been perfectly articulated in the literature of reference on endogenous growth. Although there has been significant research so far into the success and failure of clusters, the implications of these multiple research efforts fail to provide political decision-makers and company managers with critical information about which mechanisms lie behind cluster success and also about how clusters survive and prosper. The innovative approaches presented in this book on entrepreneurship, human capital mobility and regional development have considerable potential to create new and original implications for decision-makers and managers. In terms of value added, this book contributes to the literature by seeking answers to the following questions: (i) Is the growth and success of clusters over time due to concentration and transmission of business competences through spin-offs located in a given regional space? (ii) Does increased density of job options outside the workplace contribute to increased mobility of human capital between firms located within clusters, and so improve coordination in the local labor market? (iii) Do spin-offs benefit from hiring workers from successful incumbents, inasmuch as those workers are expected to perform better than other workers from different origins? Integrating theoretical frameworks, empirical research, and regional case studies (from Portugal, Spain, Norway and Turkey), the editors and contributors demonstrate that the regional dynamics of industry growth are strongly influenced by the mobility of employees towards new firms.
Download or read book Financial Determinants of High Growth Companies written by Blaž Frešer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-13 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the factors that contribute to high corporate growth, presenting a new conceptual model for research into this phenomenon. Building on existing research, the authors present a new conceptual research model that links multidimensional variables, such as entrepreneurial orientation, and human capital, with the perceived availability of different forms of financing for high-growth companies and with the measures that these firms take to overcome financial constraints and thus influence their financial performance. With this model the authors aim to enhance our understanding of the specifics of financing high growth companies and demonstrate how the availability of financial resources is one of the most important determinants of promoting development and enterprise growth. Empirically tested on a random sample of high-growth companies from Slovenia, the book seeks to make a contribution to research and enhance our understanding of the various factors involved in high growth firms.
Download or read book Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation written by Paul Burns and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-15 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a highly regarded expert on entrepreneurship, this bestselling textbook provides an engaging and comprehensive overview of corporate entrepreneurship. Now in its fourth edition and fully revised throughout, this accessible text is structured in four key parts that cover everything a student needs to know about the topic. After an initial consideration of what constitutes corporate entrepreneurship and innovation, the author then guides students through the four pillars of entrepreneurial architecture: culture, structure, leadership and strategy. The third section focusses on the entrepreneurial mind-set, including how to encourage creativity, business ideas and developing concepts. Finally, the book draws attention to corporate venturing, examining venture teams, intrapreneurs, market development and the role of shareholder value. It is no longer sufficient for businesses to grow simply by cutting costs and taking over competitors. To achieve true success, organisations must avoid an ageing product or service portfolio to bring new, innovative ideas to market. Corporate entrepreneurship is inherently risky and therefore requires a fresh approach to strategy. The approach Paul Burns offers will successfully overcome barriers to launching new ideas, internal challenges of managing creativity and show how to foster an entrepreneurial culture. This is the go-to textbook for all students studying Corporate Entrepreneurship, Intrapreneurship or Corporate Venturing at undergraduate, postgraduate or MBA level. The book is also essential reading for courses on Strategic Entrepreneurship and Innovation. New to this Edition: - Fully revised and updated content throughout with new four-part structure - Brand new case studies in every chapter, featuring some of the world's highest profile companies from across the globe - A greater focus on innovation, including a new chapter on this topic at the start of the book - New chapters on 'Developing a Business Model', 'Managing Change' and 'Managing Risk' - New on-page glossary with key terms highlighted in the text and defined in the margins - New Activities and Group Discussion topics at the end of each chapter

Download or read book Social Capital and its Impact on Born Transnational Firms written by Martin Krikken and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent literature on international entrepreneurship hints toward an increasing number of firms engaging in business activities across national borders from or near their inception. Employing the transnational organization model to cope with hypercompetitive markets, the so-called born transnational firms represent a rather new prototype of such rapidly internationalizing firms and appear to be prime candidates of integrating value-added processes in multiple countries in a timely manner. Martin Krikken aims at shedding light on the nature of this distinct and under-researched type of international start-up by assessing the impact of social capital on its corporate flexibility. He illuminates how born transnational firms utilize networks of relationships to increase their capacity to adapt to environmental change.
